  1. Is the chicken supposed to be cooked after marinating in the yogurt mixture before adding it to the pan with the cream and sauce?

    1. It should be raw when marinating. Hope that helps, enjoy! If you have more questions we’re happy to answer them in the bottom right-hand corner using the chat feature!
