Indian Chicken

This recipe is amazing and really worth giving it a shot.  Don't be scared off by all the spices.  You can find all of them at Walmart and probably already have most of them.  

So I rarely invent a recipe myself.  But this one I have to take some credit for I made a butter chicken recipe and thought I can make this better.  I then researched recipes and squished some together and WALahh!!  An Indian chicken recipe that is mine.  So proud of myself.

1 sweet yellow onion chopped

Serve over cooked jasmine rice.  The real secret is to top your jasmine rice with fennel.  Then serve your chicken over it.
