BUTTER CHICKEN (INDIAN CHICKEN IN TOMATO CREAM SAUCE)



Butter Chicken (Indian Chicken in Tomato Cream Sauce) image

A rotisserie chicken stands in quite well for the original tandoori chicken in this version of the simple north Indian dish. In just a few simple steps with a handful of spices, an ordinary chicken become an exotic, family-pleasing meal with a richly spiced sauce that melds right into the chicken. The dish is done when the meat is - as Indian cookbook author Julie Sahni describes it - "meltingly tender." Serve with spinach, quickly cooked in oil and garlic to complete the meal.

1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
3 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
2 teaspoons jarred minced garlic
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes in juice
1 skinless rotisserie chicken, boned out and pulled into 1 1/2 by 1/2-inch chunks

Tips:

- For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy tomatoes. If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can use canned diced tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well before using. - If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk or half-and-half instead. However, the sauce will be thinner. - To make the sauce extra creamy, add a tablespoon of butter to the pan before adding the tomatoes. - If you like spicy food, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the sauce. - Serve the chicken with rice, pasta, or potatoes. You can also top it with shredded cheese or avocado.
