Ingredients

Marination

1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into 1 inch pieces (the smaller the piece, more flavors will get into the meat)

2 tablespoons  plain yogurt

2 tablespoons oil

1 tablespoon Santhoshi's Indian Spice Blend

 

Sauce

1/2 cup diced onion

1 cup canned diced tomatoes

1/2 stick butter & 1 tablespoon oil

1 tablespoon Santhoshi's Indian Spice Blend

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

 

Procedure

Baking Chicken & Veggies 

1. Start by mixing 1 tablespoon of spice blend, yogurt , and oil to create a delicious marinade! Toss in chicken, and mix to infuse flavors.

​

2. Bake at 400°F for 30 minutes, then broil for 5 minutes for a perfect finish.

​

Making the Sauce

1. Place a pan on the stove , switch on the heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil & 1/2 stick butter . Once the butter is completely melted , add 1/2 cup onion and fry until the onion turns light golden brown color.

​

2. And then add diced tomatoes, 1 tablespoon spice blend, and 1/2 cup of water; cover and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes. Stir the contents occasionally to avoid burning. After 5 minutes uncover the pan and cook on medium heat until the sauce thickens and the butter oozes around the edges of the pan.

​

3. Add baked chicken with the juices into the sauce; simmer for 2 minutes and then stir in the 1/2 cup cream and cook another 2 minutes.  Enjoy your Butter Chicken with Rice or Naan bread. If you would like to reduce the spiciness in the sauce , add a little extra heavy cream. It will tone down the heat.
