Butter Chicken

I've never had buttered chicken and I will have to comment when ever I make this.

Ingredients

1 tbsp Olive oil

1/4 cup Grated yellow onion, from one small onion

4 Garlic cloves, minced

2 tbsp Grated ginger

2 tbsp Butter

3/4 cup Chicken stock

8 oz Tomato paste

2 tsp Cinnamon

1 ½ tsp Kosher salt

2 tsp Cumin

2 tsp Garam masala

1 tsp Turmeric

2.5 lb Boneless, skinless, cooked, chicken breast, cut up

2 Tbsp Lemon juice

1 Cup Heavy cream

Fresh cilantro and basmati rice for serving

Directions

In a large skillet with a tight fitting lid, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add in onions, garlic and ginger. Cook, stirring often, until onions are soft and garlic and ginger are fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Add in butter, chicken stock, tomato paste, cinnamon, salt, cumin, garam masala and turmeric. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer over medium heat.

Stir in chicken and stir until coated. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.

Stir in lemon juice and heavy cream. Return to a simmer and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.

Serve butter chicken over basmati rice topped with fresh cilantro.
