Butter Chicken

2-3 tbsp. butter [ over medium heat, heat until frothy ]
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon [ add to butter, let fry for about 5 secs ]
1 medium onion, 2 tsp. garlic, 2 tsp. ginger [ mince and add to butter ]
Saute until the onion becomes transparent, about 3 minutes over medium heat
1/2 tsp. turmeric, 1/2 tsp. cayenne, 1 tbsp. dry coriander [ add to butter, saute
for 3 minutes or so ]
1 lb. chicken meat cut into small cubes [ add and saute about 10 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes to seal all sides ]
8 oz. chicken stock OR water OR canned diced tomatoes
AND 1 tbsp. tomato paste [ stir into the mixture and simmer for about 40 minutes or until completely tender ]
1/2 cup 35% cream OR plain yogurt
AND 1/2 tsp salt (to taste) [ if using cream, simmer at least 3 minutes, if yogurt then just heat through ]

Serving directions : Serve on rice with Naan bread and salad. I find that it works just as nicely tossed with some fine noodles (cappellini) or fine rice stick.

Modifications: Try adding 1/2 tsp of dried ground ginger to the butter along with the cinnamon.

I'm so glad you asked. This is my favorite chicken recipe. It's so much simpler than the other recipes you've recieved but believe me, it's delicious. Most people don't like the idea of using real butter, or frying, but I figure every once in a while you just need to eat something so good it doesn't matter. Enjoy!

Butter Chicken

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
flour seasoned with salt and pepper for dredging
1/3 cup butter
1 sprig of fresh parsley, just for a garnish

(1) Seperate the fillets of each breast (you know, there's a line down the side of the breast that connects a smaller piece to the larger one) Pound the larger pieces to flatten them. Dredge them in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess.

(2) Heat the butter in a large heavy frying pan until it bubbles. Place the fillets in the pan, in one layer. Cook one side over a moderate to high heat for about 3-4 minutes, until they are golden brown.

(3) Turn the chicken over. Reduce the heat to between loew to moderate and continue cooking until the fillets are cooked through but still springy to the touch, about 9-12 minutes. If the chicken begins to brown too much, cover the pan and reduce the heat for the final few minutes of cooking.

(4) Serve at once with parsley garnish.

What to serve with it? Get a box of Rissoto (italian flavored rice) or mashed potatoes. Roasted asparagus would be nice. Just drizzle a little olive oil over some asparagus, season with salt and pepper and bake at 350F for about 15-20 minutes. A salad goes very well. And I always love a crusty bread.

Butter Chicken

2 to 3 tablespoons of butter
1 onion
¼ teaspoon of cinnamon
2 teaspoons of crushed garlic
2 teaspoons of crushed ginger
½ teaspoon of ground turmeric
1 to 2 teaspoons of chilli powder
1 tablespoon of coriander
400 grams / 14 oz of skinless, boneless chicken thighs or breasts
¼ to ½ cup ground almonds
225 gram / 8 oz can of whole peeled tomatoes with juice
1 tablespoon of tomato paste
½ cup of unsweetened yoghurt

With chicken there is always a risk of food poisoning, so it is important to clean your hands, board and knives before and after working with the raw meat.

Trim and cut the chicken into small cubes, cover and put aside. With a clean knife and board slice the onions into thin wedges (lyonnaise). Heat a large saucepan or frying pan and melt 2 to 3 tablespoons of butter until it is frothy. Add the onions and the cinnamon to the pan and fry lightly.

When the onions are soft stir in the crushed garlic and ginger. Then add the turmeric, chilli and coriander, and sauté over a medium heat. The spices are fried first to release their maximum flavour and this really enhances the dish. Add the cubed chicken and sauté stirring constantly until the chicken has turned white.

Pour in the ground almonds, tomatoes and tomato paste. Mix thoroughly. Cover and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes. Add the yoghurt and heat through. Serve on rice with a salad and Indian bread if desired.

(Serves 4 to 6)

I never heard of butter chicken. Maybe fry some chicken cutlets in butter instead of oil and season with Mrs. Dash.
