Directions
- Start this recipe by combining all the ingredients for the marinade in a non-reactive dish and place the chicken in before tossing it through until it is evenly coated.
- This recipe is best if you let the chicken marinade for a couple of hours however, as I always say who has time for that… plenty of flavour here.
- Meanwhile begin the sauce for the butter chicken. Brown the onion off in olive oil before adding the spices and cooking for 1-2 minutes to take the rawness out of them.
- Add the marinated chicken and the marinade followed by the remaining ingredients bar the cream and cook for 30 minutes. Add the cream and cook for a further 10 minutes before serving.
