Butter Chicken
300kcal
Ingredients
- 2 onions finely chopped
- 1 bulb garlic minced
- 3 TBS butter
- 1 can (640 ml) tomato sauce
- 1 litre whipping cream
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 4 TBS tandoori masala
- 2 TBS garam masala
- 6 chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 TBS vegetable oil
- 3 TBS tomato paste or 1 small can
Method
- In a bowl, toss the chicken with the oil, tandoori masala, and salt; let rest for at least 1 hour.
- Melt butter in a large pot or Dutch oven.
- Slowly sauté onions and garlic in the butter until caramelized, about 15 minutes.
- Remove the caramelized onions and garlic from the pot and set aside.
- Add tomato sauce, whipping cream and garam masala to the pot and slowly bring to a near-boil.
- Once the sauce is simmering, add the marinated chicken.
- Stovetop method: continue to simmer at very low heat with no lid.
- After 60 minutes of simmering, add the reserved onions and garlic back into the pot.
- Simmer for another 60 minutes, stirring often, until chicken is cooked through and sauce has thickened. If needed, thicken with a cornstarch slurry before serving.
- Serve immediately over basmati rice with naan on the side.

Notes
Phenomenal meal. Thigh meat works but can crumble with long cooking—use breast meat for long cooks. If using thighs, reduce cook time by about 1 hour. You may need a cornstarch slurry to thicken before serving.
