Butter Chicken

It’s been long time that I didn’t post chicken recipes. Here comes the butter chicken, most served and loved by non vegetarians especially with Rotti or Chappathi.The recipe is most delicious and creamy chicken rich in butter and not a spicy dish, favorite for most kids.

It’s similar to the Paneer Butter Masala, only difference is using the chicken instead of Paneer. I really love the look of the recipe and obviously the taste when it’s cooked in Minu’s Kitchen.Here you go with the making :)
