Without a doubt one of the most well-known Indian dishes around the world is Butter Chicken. Here is my Low Carb Butter Chicken with a little kick.
This is one of our favorite chicken recipes I make for the family. It is an easy recipe to make and you should not have any problem finding the spices, Chunky Chat Masala and the Tandoori Masala, are in the International aisle in any grocery store. There is no need to add flour or any kind of thickener to thicken the sauce. You just need to be patient and cook the sauce slowly and it will thicken up on its own.
½ cup butter
1 medium chopped onion
2 Tbsp chopped garlic
2 Tbsp Tandoori Masala Spice
1 Tbsp Chunky Chat Masala Spice
2 tsp. paprika
¼ tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cumin
2 cups canned dice tomatoes
1 cup heavy cream (35% whipping)
Melt butter in sauce pan, add onion, cook until soft, add garlic and all ingredients, simmer.
Puree the sauce with hand held blender to remove all the lumps. (Oster Model: FPSTHBSS Series) Set aside.
In a skillet add chicken breast cook 3 minutes on each side. Pour Sauce over chicken and cook until the chicken is done and the sauce has thickened up.
I only used 1 cup of the butter sauce and put the remainder in a jar and stored in the fridge.
