Hi, I'm Danelle and this is where I dish about my favorite recipes. I focus on simple, family friendly fare and try to make feeding the family a little bit easier for everyone.
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into bite size pieces
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon cardamom
1 whole lime, juiced
1 medium onion, diced
1/4 cup butter
1 can (14.5 oz.) tomato sauce
1 can (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes
1 pint heavy cream
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Directions
Combine the garlic, salt, pepper, spices and lime juice. Pour over chicken in a shallow container or Ziploc bag and marinate for at least two hours. Saute the onion in the butter until soft. Add marinated chicken and cook about 10 minutes. Add the tomato sauce and diced tomatoes. Cook for 30 minutes over medium-low heat with the lid on. Add the cream and cilantro and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, until sauce is thickened slightly. Serve over rice.
Let's Dish
I try a lot of new recipes, so I rarely make anything twice in the span of two weeks. I've made this twice in two weeks. It's going to become a regular meal around here. I love Indian food, but my husband isn't a fan of curry. This dish is a great compromise for us. It's got an Indian flare without the curry. He likes it too!

I really want to give this a try, but I am nervous my husband, who doesn't like curry, wouldn't like it. However, after reading of your hubby, maybe I should give it a go ;)
ReplyDelete@Allison - this tastes nothing like curry!
ReplyDelete@Danelle - this is too funny - I feel like I've come full circle. I found your blog via Tasty Kitchen (I think), and now my recipe has appeared here via another blog. I never imagined when I posted this on TK it would get so much attention, but mmmm mmmm it is one of the yummiest things ever.
PS- I highly recommend basmati rice!!
ReplyDeleteYum! This looks and sounds really good and I concur with your husband about the curry.
ReplyDeleteWe have the same issues at my house. I love curry but hubby not so much. This would be a great dish for us! :)
ReplyDeleteHusband doesn't like curry! Thank God you do ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh YUM! I'll be making this SOON! Looks fab!

Delightful Bitefuls
I have been wanting to try this for so long, it looks so flavorful
ReplyDeleteLove a really good Butter Chicken. Yours look delicious.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE IT!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!
ReplyDeleteI finally found ground cardamom. But at $18 for 1.75 oz. I decided to play with some of the substitutes. I put in a tiny bit of ginger, a little bit of curry, and a touch of gloves (all together equal to about 1/4 tsp). It was good. All of my kids ate it, which is HUGE at our house. Another thing I loved is that it made a lot. I typically have to 1.5 or 2 times all recipes to feed our motley crew but we had plenty with some left over for me to have today for lunch. This will go into the favorites file!
OH EM GEE! This is just...beyond words - awesome. As soon as you add the chicken to the onions it smells divine. Only thing I did different was to put mine over couscous instead of rice. This will be a regular around here.
