Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 cup Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons garam masala, divided
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon salt
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup heavy cream
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
1 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon cold water, or more as needed
½ cup ketchup
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Whisk Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon garam masala, lemon juice, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, black pepper, ginger, and salt together in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken, and work the marinade into the chicken until it is coated. Squeeze out excess air and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour to overnight.
  • Transfer chicken and marinade to a slow cooker. Add heavy cream, tomato sauce, garlic, jalapeno pepper, remaining 1 tablespoon garam masala, butter, cumin, paprika, and salt; mix with a ladle to combine.
  • Cover and cook on Low for 5 hours, or on High for 3 hours, until chicken juices run clear.
  • Whisk cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl until completely combined, adding more water if necessary. Add to the slow cooker. Mix in ketchup. Cook on High for an additional 20 minutes. Serve with cilantro.

I'm not a fan of yogurt, so I used sour cream instead in this butter chicken recipe. It turned out great! The sour cream added a nice tang to the sauce.

This butter chicken recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I cooked a whole chicken on the weekend, and then I used the leftovers to make this dish. The chicken was still moist and flavorful, and the sauce was delicious.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this butter chicken recipe with tofu instead of chicken. It turned out great! The tofu was firm and flavorful, and the sauce was just as delicious as it is with chicken.
