  1. I have tried many Butter Chicken recipes and this one is the best! The chicken is tender and it makes a lot of sauce for dipping. I used 4 chicken breasts and there was still plenty. Prefect blend of spices and just the right amount of heat. I use regular whipping cream and yogurt because that it what I usually have on hand. It is so good I hesitate to use anything else. Thanks so much for posting.
     
  2. Great recipe, absolutely awesome! My family and I love butter chicken from Indian restaurants, but I wanted to try my hand at making it myself. Many recipes called for spices I didn't have or took a long time so I gave this one a shot, glad I did! I made mine with heavy whipping cream, plain yogurt, and doubled the recipe to have enough for my family and made extra spice (the ones you mix the chicken with) in case the recipe needed it. It didn't, came out wonderfully! Thanks so much
