Ingredients
Scale
1 lb of boneless chicken breast
4 tablespoons of butter
1 cup of heavy cream
1 can (15 oz) of canned tomatoes
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon of ginger, minced
1 tablespoon of garam masala
1 teaspoon of chili powder
Salt to taste
For garnish: cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Begin by cutting the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes. In a large bowl, combine the chicken with a teaspoon of salt, chili powder, ginger, and garlic. Mix well to ensure the pieces are evenly coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 7-10 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the canned tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Stir in the garam masala and remaining salt, letting the sauce cook for about 5 minutes.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the heavy cream into the sauce and stir until well combined. Let everything simmer for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Ladle the butter chicken into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro. Pair it with fluffy basmati rice or warm naan bread for a complete meal experience.
