* 5 cloves Garlic, Minced
* 1 teaspoon Salt
* ½ teaspoons Black Pepper
* ½ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
* ¼ teaspoons Ground Coriander
* ¼ teaspoons Cumin

* 1 whole Lime, Juiced
* 1 whole Onion, Diced
* ¼ cups Butter

* 1 can (14.5 Oz. Can) Petite Diced Tomatoes
* 1 pint Whipping Cream
* 1 bunch Chopped Cilantro, to taste
* 2 cups Basmati Rice (or However Much You Want)

I would add more cayenne. I like a lot of spice though

I found the yummy recipe on http://tastykitchen.com/recipes/main-courses/butter-chicken-2/

Combine first 9 ingredients and marinate overnight.

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 whipping cream (I have used light cream or half-and-half also) and cilantro just before serving over Basmati or white rice.
