Butter Chicken

This was really good!! It called for 2 spices I didn't have so when I went grocery shopping I was shocked at how expensive ground coriander and cardamom were! It was worth it though. Will be making it again for sure!

Combine first 9 ingredients and marinate overnight.



Saute the onion in the butter until soft. Add marinated chicken and cook about 10 minutes. Add the tomato sauce and diced tomatoes. Cook for 30 minutes over medium-low heat with the lid on.
