Butter chicken is a popular Indian dish that features tender chicken in a creamy tomato sauce. Here's a recipe you can try:
Ingredients:
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon garam masala
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions:
In a large bowl, mix together the yogurt, garam masala, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken pieces and stir to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 24 hours).
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger and sauté until the onion is soft and translucent.
Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.
Add the crushed tomatoes and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 20-25 minutes.
Add the heavy cream and stir to combine. Simmer for another 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Stir in the chopped cilantro and serve hot with rice or naan.
Enjoy your delicious butter chicken!
