BUTTER CHICKEN (INDIAN CHICKEN IN TOMATO CREAM SAUCE)
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.

Steps:
- To make the spice blend: Stir the ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.
- To make the sauce: Melt the butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until the pieces just begin to turn gold, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, tomato paste and spice blend, and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning. The spices will be fragrant. Add the tomato sauce and diced tomatoes and stir will. Add the chicken pieces, spoon the sauce over the top and bring to a simmer. Turn the heat to low and cook, uncovered, until the chicken is warmed through and the sauce is flavorful, about 10 minutes. Stir frequently. Remove the chicken to a serving dish and cover to keep warm.
- Shake any excess water from the peas. Add the peas and cream to the sauce in the pan, stir well and heat through. Do not boil. Spoon the sauce over the chicken. Serve with rice and warmed pita bread.

Steps:
- Heat 3 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sauté until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to plate; tent with foil to keep warm. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to drippings in skillet. Add sun-dried tomatoes, shallots and garlic. Reduce heat to medium and sauté until shallots are tender, about 5 minutes. Add cream and bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits. Mix any accumulated juices from chicken into sauce. Simmer until sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer chicken to plates. Spoon sauce over and serve.
Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your sauce will be.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will result in a watery sauce.
- Season your chicken well: Be generous with the salt and pepper when seasoning your chicken. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken and make it more flavorful.
- Use a good quality cream: The cream you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your sauce. Look for a heavy cream or a crème fraîche that is at least 35% fat.
- Don't boil the sauce: Once you add the cream to the sauce, be careful not to let it boil. This will cause the cream to separate and will ruin the sauce.
- Serve immediately: Chicken with tomato cream sauce is best served immediately. The sauce will thicken as it cools, so if you need to make it ahead of time, be sure to reheat it gently before serving.
Conclusion:
Chicken with tomato cream sauce is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. It is a great weeknight meal that can be made in under an hour. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and flavorful chicken with tomato cream sauce that your whole family will love.
