Easy Indian Butter Chicken

Preparation

Step 1


Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).


Step 2


Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion and garlic, and cook slowly until the onion caramelizes to a dark brown, about 15 minutes.


Step 3


Meanwhile, combine cream, tomato sauce, remaining butter, salt, cayenne pepper, and garam masala in a saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a simmer.


Step 4


Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Stir in caramelized onions.


Step 5


While the sauce is simmering, toss chicken with vegetable oil until coated. Season with tandoori masala and spread out onto a baking sheet.


Step 6


Bake chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 12 minutes.


Step 7


Add cooked chicken to the sauce and simmer for 5 minutes before serving.
