~Not Your Traditional Butter Chicken~

Hello there! 
Here is this evenings dinner. It is not your traditional Butter Chicken recipe.
 I have "tweeked" it just a little, to make it my own.  It is very easy and fast to the table.  

 I have mixed together my own Masala spice with:
black pepper, cloves, turmeric, cayenne, cinnamon, cumin, cardamom, ginger & nutmeg

Here is what I used:
2 tbsps of olive oil
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 each red, yellow & orange peppers sliced
2 cloves of garlic chopped
1 large onion chopped
2 cups of cream 
1 cup of butter
15 ounces of pureed tomatoes
2 tbsps of  masala spice
3 cups cooked Basmati rice

In a frying pan add oil, chopped onion and garlic, saute until onions start to brown.
Add butter, once melted, add chicken, cook chicken thoroughly

Add sliced peppers & continue to simmer.
In a bowl, puree tomatoes~ I used unsalted
Add cream & spices, whisk well.
Pour on top of chicken mixture
Allow to simmer on med- low heat for 15 - 20 minutes. Sauce will thicken as it simmers.
Serve on Basmati Rice
Enjoy!
