Steps

1

Cut chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and transfer to a large bowl.
2

In a spice grinder, add cumin, coriander, cardamom, and bay leaves. Grind until a fine powder is achieved. Pour into bowl with chicken and add remaining marinade ingredients until spices and oil form a paste that coats chicken. Let marinate 24-72 hours.
3

In a stovetop smoker, smoke the chicken with hickory wood chips over low heat for 90 minutes.
4

After smoked, transfer chicken to a large nonstick skillet and cook covered over high heat for 10 minutes. Uncover and cook 5 more minutes or until residual oil is complete evaporated.
