This sauce is perfect when creamy and not too thick or too thin. The level of salt and spices can be suited to your taste. Garam and tandoori masala can be found in the ethnic aisle of your grocery store
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, divided shopping list
- 1 onion, minced shopping list
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic shopping list
- 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce shopping list
- 3 cups heavy cream shopping list
- 2 teaspoons salt shopping list

- 1 teaspoon garam masala shopping list
- 1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized chunks shopping list

How to make it
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
- Melt a few tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Stir in onion and garlic, and cook slowly until the onion caramelizes to a dark brown, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile melt the remaining butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat along with the tomato sauce, heavy cream, salt, cayenne pepper, and garam masala.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low; cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Then stir in caramelized onions. While the sauce is simmering, toss cubed chicken breast with vegetable oil until coated, then season with tandoori masala and spread out onto a baking sheet.
- Bake chicken in preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 12 minutes.
- Once done, add the chicken to the sauce and simmer for 5 minutes before serving.
