Cooking Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine skinless boneless chicken thighs with salt, garlic powder, sweet paprika, curry powder, and Greek yogurt. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat a splash of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 8-10 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from skillet.
- Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining butter to the skillet. Let it melt, then add minced garlic and diced onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- Stir in tomato sauce and sugar, and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. Return cooked chicken to the skillet and add heavy cream, stirring gently.
- Add cayenne pepper, garam masala, additional curry powder, and black pepper. Let simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Stir in remaining cold butter until melted. Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
- Serve the homemade butter chicken hot with warm naan and fluffy steamed rice.
