How to Make Bruce's Cheater Butter Chicken
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1/2 cup of chopped onion. Cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes. Brown the chicken on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Drain one (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, reserving the juice. Set the drained tomatoes aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the reserved tomato juice (approximately 1/2 cup) and 1 teaspoon of chicken base until completely dissolved.
- Pour the tomato juice mixture into the skillet along with 1 (10.75 ounce) can of condensed tomato soup, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon curry powder, and a pinch of cayenne pepper (optional).
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream and the drained canned tomatoes. Simmer for another 3 minutes, or until heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Serve hot over basmati rice and with toasted naan bread.
