How to Make Babzy's Butter Chicken
- 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.
- While onions sauté, slice 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve hot over basmati rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with naan bread for dipping.
