For someone who has never cooked dinner in his life (pasta doesn't count) this ended up being a great way to surprise my significant other with a tasty dinner for our anniversary. She said it tasted like restaurant-quality butter chicken and I agree; in fact it was better than I've had at many restaurants. However, I would recommend doubling up on the sauce as mine seemed to be non-existent when cooking was complete.

I'm a big fan of Butter Chicken and I have had this recipe in my bookmark for a long time, so since it's a cool day today I thought it would be perfect to warm us up. I followed the recipe as written but substituted the chicken breast to chicken thighs and added less chilli powder. I also skipped the garnish stage because I could wait to eat it. Thank you Sandi for a yummy dinner

The 5 of us really enjoyed ths delicous version of butter chicken. I made a few minor changes that I don't think altered the finished dish. I used tinned tomatoes and almond meal (instead of the cashews) and chicken thigh fillets (we find them moister and tastier in things like this). I cut the chicken into bite size pieces and didn't prick it as I figured they were small enough for the marinade to penetrate.

Sandi, I had what I thought was a pretty terrific butter chicken recipe and on a whim decided to try yours...very glad that I did ...mmmm (that is me remembering the taste of this fine dish) Followed your recipe exactly --- this recipe has replaced my old one. Thanks for sharing.

Just wondering...the recipe says to add sugar, but doesn't mention how much and also mentions to add beaten cream. Is it referring to beating the 1 Tbsp of cream in the gravy? Also, is original recipe for whole chicken pieces as it mentions pricking holes and making cuts in chicken. Flavor was ok, but will try again to compare to some other recipes.
