Preparation

Step 1

1. Melt butter in a large frying pan at medium heat.
2. Cut each chicken breast into approx 9 chucks, adding to the butter as you cut. Toss until no longer pink.
3. Add garam masala, paprika, cinnamon, sugar, chili powder, madras curry and peanut butter. Stir to coat.
4. Gradually stir in tomato soup, cream, milk and chicken broth. Chop cilantro and toss into pot. Stir and heat at a high simmer.

I always skip the cilantro because I forget to buy it and I don't think my husband really likes it. We always have the butter chicken on rice, but it would be good with just Naan bread too.
