Chicken Korma (Pakistani)

I love trying dishes from other countries. I had tried a few different recipes for Chicken Korma and found this one to be the tastiest. Served over rice, this chicken dish features a wonderful blend of warm Mediterranean spices, sure to please your entire family. This recipe was from a Costco magazine. I did increase the liquids as we prefer saucy dishes.
