March Recipe Challenge



I had actually planned on making this a few days ago, but forgot I had to marinate the chicken overnight.  I finally made it last night!  I thought it was pretty good; CH said it was just "so-so".  For some reason it came out kind of watery; I think when I make it again I'll only use 1/2 of the whipping cream and/or drain the tomatoes.  If you have any suggestions, let me know!

  1. I have never had Butter Chicken. We love Indian food though so I should give it a try! It looks pretty simple and we always have half and half in the fridge. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

  2. Wow! Yummy! I love meat dishes that you can serve with rice. It makes it so much lighter, doesn't it?
