Ingredients
-
1 stick butter, divided
1 onion, minced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 can evaporated skim milk
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon chili powder (for mild) or cayenne pepper (for hot)
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 tablespoon sugar
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized chunks
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons curry powder or tandoori masala
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. Melt a 3 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.
3. Meanwhile melt the remaining butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat along with the tomato sauce, evaporated milk, salt, chili powder or 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.
4. While the sauce is simmering, toss cubed chicken breast with 1 tbsp vegetable oil until coated, then season with 2 tbsp curry powder or tandoori masala and spread out onto a baking sheet.
5. 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.
