Butter chicken

Ok, I did not create this recipe. I found it, on a whim. My co-blogger had posted something on facebook about wanting to find her butter chicken recipe, and I couldn't get the idea out of my head.

A quick google, and I was off and running. This was awesome, and easy, and quick. My 3 year old declared it the best chicken ever. She may be right.

*notes*
I doubled the recipe. I only had 3/4 cup of whipping cream, and used 1% milk for the balance of the milk, and it was perfect (and lower fat, right??) Didn't have garam masala, it was fine without it. Served with rice and steamed broccoli. Wonderful.
