Wonderful flavor! This pleased everyone including a VERY picky three year old - that promptly announced this was his new favorite recipe. I did not marinate the chicken and I could not tell the difference. To save time, I browned the chicken in the pan (removed it) and then added the spices to the melted butter. After about a minute I put the chicken back in the pan and added the tomato paste, puree, stock and vinegar and followed the directions from there adding the yogurt with the cream. Thanks Beck for a truly lovely dinner!

I started to make this yesterday for our dinner, then realized it had to marinate for awhile so I decided to marinate it over night and we had it for our dinner today. It was fabulous! I have never had butter chicken before but I was really impressed with the flavour of this dish and the ease of preparation. I will definitely make this again. When I asked my husband what he thought of it, he said, mmm...good, which is saying alot for him! Thanks!

I live in Melbourne with my gorgeous husband Andy! We're both total foodies who love making and eating dishes of all sorts - I normally try at least 4 new recipes a week. We both do swing dancing and are totally obsessed with our two beautiful cats, Couscous (mine) and Moo(DH's). Couscous loves red wine and savoury food, while Moois addicted to frozen yoghurt and chocolate. It's a full time job trying to eat dinner in peace!
