Instructions

Step 1

■ Season the chicken with 1⁄2 teaspoon salt and 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper. In a large pot over medium-high, melt the butter. Add the chicken and scallion whites, then cook, stirring once or twice, until both the chicken and scallions begin to turn golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste, garam masala, cardamom, turmeric and 1⁄2 teaspoon each salt and pepper.

Step 2

■ Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 30 to 60 seconds. Add the bean liquid, broth, and lime zest and juice, then bring to a boil. Reduce to medium and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally and adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmer, until the chicken is opaque when cut into, 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 3

■ Stir in the scallion greens and the beans, then cook until the beans are heated through, another 2 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper
