Butter Chicken Recipe

Making butter chicken is one of the ways that I like to use up chicken thighs. I bought a big pack of them from Costco and the other evening pulled out the recipe. It was a cool and chilly day so it was perfect for making something spicy, warm, and cozy. I posted the pic on Facebook and got lots of requests for the recipe so here it is!!

What you're going to need:

5-6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
3 medium sized onions
1 can of tomato sauce
1 tbsp butter or ghee
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp minced ginger
2 tsp coriander
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp garam masala
2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp tumeric
1/2 cup milk (cow or almond)
3 tbsp cream OR canned coconut milk


What to do: 
Melt the butter in a pan
Chop the onions and add to the melted butter and fry until lightly golden
Add the following: ginger, garlic, coriander, chilli power, salt, garam masala, and tumeric
Let the spices fry with the onions a few moments until it becomes nice and fragrant
Chop of the chicken into the size of pieces you'd like and then add to the pan
Let the chicken fry about 5 minutes
Add the can of tomato sauce, milk, and cream OR coconut milk
Let it lightly simmer until chicken is cooked through (about 10 minutes)

Serve with rice and steamed or lightly sautéed veggies.

Enjoy with a nice cup of chai tea :)
