How to Make American Style Butter Chicken
- In a bowl, marinate the chicken pieces with 2 tablespoons of ginger-garlic paste and 1 teaspoon of salt. Let it sit for 10-20 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3-6 tablespoons of butter (depending on your preference) and melt completely.
- Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink and cooked through (about 8-10 minutes).
- Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the chopped cashews and cook for 1-2 minutes, until lightly browned.
- Stir in the sour cream, red chili powder, and tomato sauce.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the cooked chicken to the sauce. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the oil separates slightly, stirring occasionally.
- Serve the American Style Butter Chicken hot over cooked rice.
- Enjoy!
