What a wonderful recipe for chicken breasts. Stir frying the cubes of chicken in those lovely spices made for a wonderfully fragrant kitchen. The aroma alone worth a five! I was unsure as to the cardamon pods and used less - next time will use all four. Love cilantro and am slowly introducing it to my family- with that in mind used a tablespoon of chopped parsley to garnish instead of the cilantro. I am looking forward to making this again - soon!
