I have never really eaten Indian Food--like at a restaurant. It is on the eating out bucket list. But...we have come up with a few Butter Chicken recipes--I'm sure they are not authentic but I do know they are delicious.
If I want a very quick version I make Skillet Chicken Tikka Masala. It is delicious and makes up in 30 minutes all in one skillet.. It is a family favorite, try it soon.
Next we tried several more involved recipes--they were excellent but a little more work than we care to take. We do love to cook--but not all day.
The last recipe Candise gave me was one that she had played with and made it to her liking. The chicken is melt in your mouth delicious and the sauce is perfect served over rice with Nann .
Indian Butter Chicken
2 lbs chicken tenders--I cut each tender in 4-6 pieces
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. cayenne
2 tsp. garam masala
1 whole lime, juiced
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1 whole onion, diced
4 tablespoons butter
1 can 14oz tomato
sauce
1 can petite diced
tomatoes 14oz
1 cup whipping
cream
1 bunch cilantro-
chopped
basmati rice
Combine first eight ingredients
and marinate overnight, or for the afternoon!
Saute onion in butter
until soft, add marinated chicken and brown on both sides. Add tomatoes and
tomato sauce, cook for 30 minutes over medium low heat with the lid on. Add the
whipping cream and cilantro just before serving over basmati rice
Serve this yummy dish over basmati rice. A fruit plate is a great addition to this meal as is Naan. If you are energetic you can make your own naan--it is delicious. But I purchase it at the market and it is good too. So do what you please but do serve Naan.
I also made a recipe from Mel's Kitchen Cafe--it was good too. So many choices--just try one!

I certainly don't seek out Indian food either, but that looks pretty good.
Do you know that this morning I was going through cookbooks looking for main dish recipes for next week and I found Tikka Masala in Favorite Family Recipes cookbook and planned to make it next week. Then, I log onto my computer and see this and your skillet Tikka Masala. Random. I have never had either, but both sound delicious.
We love butter chicken! This looks like a recipe I could make. Thanks for perfecting it for me.
I was introduced to butter chicken at (of all places) a Taste of Home cooking tour. Haven't made it In a while. Sounds delicious. Thanks for sharing in your comments on EE.
Everybody loves butter chicken - this looks fabulous Cindy.
My family loves Indian food. Our kids used to pick a favorite Indian Restaurant in Sandy to go to for their birthday's. I'm giving this recipe a try.
I will always go for the easy recipe...perfect for a weeknight dinner. And this looks tame enough that Bill might enjoy it, too...he's not very fond of Indian food :(
This sounds super delicious!! Yum!
I have read about butter chicken and how delicious it is. I'm always looking for a new way to serve chicken and know my family would really enjoy this.
YUM! Your photo has my mouth watering! We love Indian food and I have been experimenting the past year in trying to learn to work with the spices and create some of the easier dishes...I have two cookbooks and slowly working my way through them. Your dish looks wonderful.
Cindy, this Indian butter chicken sounds absolutely delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe, I'm going to put it on my must make list!
My readers would love to see this recipe! I’d love it if you linked this up over at Living Well Spending Less for Thrifty Thursday this week! http://www.livingwellspendingless.com/category/thrifty-thursday/
That really does sound like an easier version. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
I could eat this right off the screen. We LOVE Tikka Masala - so I'm saving your version to try of this. Thank you!
Visiting from Dessert Now Dinner Later.
Cindy, I have never cooked Indian food either but I am very intrigued by Indian cuisine. Your recipe looks like it could get me started on finally cooking some Indian food. Thanks for posting this amazing looking recipe!
I haven't experienced eating at an Indian Restaurant yet. My daughter has and she says butter chicken is SO good. This looks delicious! Pinning. Gonna have to try this.

My husband and I were eating at an Indian restaurant a few weeks ago and I told him I really wanted to try to make Indian food at home. We're 1.5 hours from an Indian restaurant, and it's my favorite cuisine, so I need to learn. This might make a perfect starting point.
That looks delicious! We no longer have an Indian restaurant in our area so I'm forced to get my "fix" at home, too. :)
Dear Cindy, This sounds delicious! I would love to try it very much. Found you through Marvelous Mondays. Blessings, Catherine xo
This looks so good- I would love to try it! One question though... When you add the chicken to the pan do you add the marinade also, or just the chicken?
Thanks for posting!
This is my all-time favorite Indian dish! I can't wait to try out this recipe. :)
Thank you for sharing at Marvelous Mondays this week!
