Butter Chicken

My friend Trudy sent this recipe to me and told me I needed to try it. We have made it a few times since then and we really like it! It is the 20 minute butter chicken recipe from gimmedelicious. 

• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 medium onion diced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger finely minced or grated (or use paste)
• 2-3 cloves garlic finely minced or crushed
• 1 ½ pounds about 2-3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into ¾-inch chunks
• 4 tablespoons tomato paste or 8 oz can of tomato sauce
• 1 tablespoon garam masala
• 1 teaspoon chili powder or paprika, adjust to taste
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup heavy cream 
• Hot cooked rice and naan for serving

• Heat a large skillet or medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the oil, butter, and onions and cook onions down until lightly golden, about 3-4 minutes. Add ginger and garlic and let cook for 30 seconds, stirring so it doesn’t burn.
• Add the chicken, tomato paste, and spices. Cook for 5-6 minutes or until everything is cooked through.
• Add the heavy cream and simmer for 8-10 minutes stirring occasionally. Serve over Basmati rice or with naan.
