Step-by-Step Instructions for Butter Chicken
- In a medium bowl, combine skinless boneless chicken thighs with salt, garlic powder, sweet paprika, curry powder, and Greek yogurt. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken thighs and cook for 8-10 minutes until golden brown, then set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic and chopped onion until onions become translucent.
- Stir in tomato sauce and sugar, allowing to simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, add heavy cream, and stir until the sauce is creamy and heated through.
- Add cayenne pepper, garam masala, and black pepper. Simmer for about 10 minutes, adjusting spice levels.
- Stir in remaining butter at the end for a silkier sauce. Garnish with parsley if desired.
- Serve hot with naan bread and steamed rice.
