Instructions

Turn your Instant Pot to saute. Toss the butter into the Instant Pot and melt. Stir in the onions and garlic to coat and cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the onions have softened. Turn off the Instant Pot.
Put your chicken on top of the cooked onions. Then pour the tomato sauce, tomato paste, red curry paste, Garam Masala, ginger, salt, paprika and cream over the chicken. Stir all together.
Lock the lid of your Instant Pot and set to manual 8 minutes. When the Instant Pot is done with that 8 minutes let it slow release for about 5 minutes….then carefully quick release the steam.
Open your pot and do a quick stir of your Butter Chicken. Serve over oven roasted cauliflower, riced cauliflower or just by itself because it’s that good.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve.
Enjoy!

Notes

**Stovetop works just as well. Saute onions and garlic in the butter and olive oil. Toss in chicken and stir over medium heat for 5-7 minutes. Stir in all the spices, seasoning and tomato sauce and paste. Simmer all together for 10-15 minutes.

**You can enjoy Butter Chicken with your Crockpot, too! Toss all ingredients into your crockpot and set to low for 8 hours. Stir and enjoy.
