Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless,
- skinless chicken breast or thighs,
- cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 large onions,
- thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic,
- minced - 2 medium tomatoes,
- diced - 1 tablespoon ghee or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons tomato puree
- 2 tablespoons honey
- Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, whisk together yogurt, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken and mix until coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of ghee or oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off. Cook the chicken until browned on all sides and cooked through about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of ghee or oil. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly browned and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
4. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
5. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
6. Gradually add the chicken broth, heavy cream, tomato puree, and honey. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the onions are coated, about 5-7 minutes.
7. Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and stir to coat with the sauce.
8. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the butter until melted and the sauce is smooth.
9. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
10. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve over basmati rice or with naan bread. Enjoy your delicious Butter Chicken!
