How to Make Babzy S Butter Chicken

1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced. Sauté until onions are softened, about 5 minutes.
2. While onions sauté, slice 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
3. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon garam masala, 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon cumin powder, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste), and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Toss chicken pieces in the spice mixture until evenly coated.
4. Add the spiced chicken to the saucepan with the onions and garlic. Sauté until the chicken is lightly browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup heavy cream, 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained, 1/2 cup sour cream, and 1/2 teaspoon additional garam masala.
6. Pour the cream mixture over the chicken in the saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
7. Serve hot over basmati rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with naan bread for dipping.
