Butter Chicken Breast

     Butter chicken is probably one of the easiest things to make in a short amount of time if you need something with great spicy flavour and a very creamy texture. It can be served with rice, or couscous or i guess any kind of fluffy substance you can find lying around the house.


Ingredients

• 2 average sized chicken breasts
• 3 tbs butter
• 1 onion
• 1 green pepper
• 3 cloves of garlic
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 can diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup yogurt
• 2 tbs. soya sauce
• 1 teaspoon each of Spices ( i use the ones pictured below, you can use most of these and more to your taste)
• Chilli paste or fresh chilli's
• Mushrooms ( optional ) 

Instructions 
1. Take your chicken breasts and add some olive oil and soya sauce in a bag with the chicken, add the spices with some salt and pepper and let it marinate in the fridge for an hour or two.
2. Dice the onions and green pepper and give the garlic a rough chop ( as little as you like it). Here is a picture if you don't know what this should look like Q(^^Q)

3. Once the chicken has been in the fridge for a few hours, take it out and get ready to cook!
4. Add 3 tbs of butter in a pan and let it melt, add onions, green pepper and cook until translucent. 1-2 mins before this is done, add garlic.

 5. Add chicken and juices from the bag into the pan, push onions and green peppers aside if need be. Cook both sides 5-8 mins, until the spices toast a bit.

6. After the chicken has been cooked on both sides, add 1 can of stewed or diced tomatoes and the chilli's/ chilli paste. I prefer diced because it adds a bit of chunkyness. Simmer for 20-25 mins.

7. After simmering is complete and it is ready to serve, add 1/4 cup of yogurt. I usually add whatever i have on hand, but iv'e added blueberry, raspberry,vanilla,original yogurt and it's always good regardless of the flavour. I personally love the blueberries in the blueberry yogurt touch.

 8. Stir the goods and serve over top of jasmine rice or steaming couscous. this is GREAT as left overs.

This recipe is probably my favourit comfort food, it's simple to make, doesnt take too much time and you can have crazy good servings for lunch a few days in a row. You could also cube the chicken, which yields the same kind of results but the cooking time is reduced to 10-15 mins when simmering. I personally love how the chicken breast will ALWAYS be moist when cooking it this way.
