Simple Paneer Makhani (Vegetarian)
"A wonderful Indian dish that can be vegetarian with the paneer or can be made with chicken instead. If using chicken, put in 2 chicken breast cubed. There are other recipes where the paneer is seasoned and such, but this is a quick dinner.
As a side note... we live in an area where getting Paneer is difficult sometimes. Our local superstore sells a cheese called Panela though. A Mexican version of Paneer. It's a little saltier, but for the most part almost the same and cheaper. It's in with the queso cheeses."
