American Style Butter Chicken Recipe

Ingredients for American Style Butter Chicken

• Boneless Chicken
• 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
• Plain Yogurt
• 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• 3-6 tablespoons butter (adjust to your preference)

How to Make American Style Butter Chicken

1. 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.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3-6 tablespoons of butter (depending on your preference) and melt completely.
3. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink and cooked through (about 8-10 minutes).
4. Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set aside.
5. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the chopped cashews and cook for 1-2 minutes, until lightly browned.
6. Stir in the sour cream, red chili powder, and tomato sauce.
7. 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.
8. Serve the American Style Butter Chicken hot over cooked rice.
9. Enjoy!
