A friend of mine adapted this from a recipe she found, to make it not only DELICIOUS but much easier to cook. I could eat this every day and not get tired of it.
Indian Butter Chicken
1/2 c butter
1 chopped onion
2-3 lbs chopped, skinned, boned chicken
15 oz canned tomatoes (or fresh, mashed tomatoes or even pasta sauce)
1 c cream
2 tsp salt
1 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tbsp masala*
Masala:
1 tbsp cumin
1.5 tsp coriander
1.5 tsp black pepper
.5 tsp nutmeg
- Using some butter sauté the onion until soft in a large pot.
- Then add the chicken to the pot. Stir until the chicken is cooked on the outside. Approx 5 minutes.
- Add everything else. Let simmer on low until chicken is cooked.
- You can also add vegetables to the mix after chicken is cooked.
We had it with sliced zucchini in it, and it was absolutely wonderful.
You can serve it over rice, or for paleo, serve over cooked sweet potato.
