Cheats Butter Chicken

Cheats Butter Chicken This is adapted from a recipe shared with me by a friend doing the Michelle Bridges 12WBT so thanks Michelle for the inspiration. I wanted to convert it for thermomix use, and it's a great family meal and super easy. Though when served with rice, mango chutney and poppadums it's probably not as low in calories as the original! Chop 1 peeled medium brown onion for 15 seconds speed 4, scraping down sides halfway through. Add 40g oil and cook at varoma speed 1 for 5 minutes. Insert the butterfly, add 450-500g chicken stir fry strips (I did say easy!) and cook again at varoma speed 1 for 5 minutes. Next add 1 400g can crushed tomatoes, 1 400g can of lentils drained and rinsed, 2tbs or 45g tandoori paste, 2tsp stock powder and 30g water. You could use 30g liquid stock or just water if you don't make Tenina's chicken stock powder! Cook for 30 mins at 100 reverse stir speed. Add 120g light cooking cream and cook for a further 2 minutes at 100 stir speed. Serve with all the trimmings and don't feel guilty it's pretty healthy!
