Chicken Makhani

This is called Butter chicken a Traditional Indian dish, but funny there is really no butter in it… I really love the flavors it brings and very family friendly since has many spices and not heat!!! Great served with Basmati Rice…

Ingredients:

6 ea. Chicken Thighs

Salt & Pepper to season Chicken
