Butter Chicken–Dairy Free!

We LOVE butter chicken! Bummer that most recipes call for butter and heavy cream. So I brought in coconut oil and cream to sub for dairy, and the results have been a hit!

1 teaspoon coconut oil

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

2 teaspoons garam masala

2 teaspoons turmeric

1 teaspoon cumin

2 garlic cloves, grated

½ teaspoon salt

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts

subheading: For the butter chicken:

1 teaspoon coconut oil

1 small onion, diced

1 small jalapeno pepper, stem, membranes and seeds removed, minced
