Indian Tandoori Chicken

Brought to you by Stephanie Hill during the international food night.  The original name of this dish is butter chicken, but I didn't want you guys to know how I cooked it.  Now you know... It's kindof intimidating at a glance to make because of the different spices, but once you've made it you'll decide it wasn't that bad.  I also think it tastes better the next day because all the spices have a chance to just soak in.  Beware it makes a lot.  We usually eat about 1/3 of it and I freeze the rest in 2 separate portions to eat at another time. Good luck and have fun!

Ingredients:
1 C butter
1 onion, minced
1 T minced garlic
1 (15oz) can tomato sauce
3 C heavy cream
2 tsp salt
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp garam masala
1 1/2 lbs skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized chunks
2 T veg oil
2 T tandoori

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
2. Melt a few tablespoons of butter in skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion and garlic, and cook slowly until the onion caramelizes to a dark brown, about 15 min.
3. Meanwhile melt the remaining butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat along with the tomato sauce, heavy cream, salt, cayenne pepper, and garam masala. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low; cover, simmer for 30 min. stirring occasionally. Then stir in caramelized onions.
4. While the sauce is simmering, toss cubed chicken breast with veg oil until coated, then season with tandoori and spread out onto baking sheet.
5. Bake chicken in preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 12 min.  Once done, add the chicken to the sauce and simmer for 5 min before serving.
