ANITA'S AUTHENTIC INDIAN BUTTER CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• CHICKEN MARINADE:
• Bake at 400 degrees F for 30-45 minutes (it's done when the oil separates from the meat)
• BUTTER CHICKEN SAUCE
• Use a thick bottomed pot if possible
• On medium heat, add oil and let it get hot
• Add onions and cook until darkish brown (without burning them)
• Add ginger/garlic paste and stir quickly (20/30 seconds tops)
• Add garam masala, turmeric, green chilies, paprika and stir quickly (5/10 seconds max)
• Add pureed tomatoes and lower the heat. Cook until the oil has separated from the mixture.
• Add the cream and butter and let them dissolve into the mixture
• Let cool and blend mixture in a blender (color will lighten considerably)
• Put the mixture back into your heavy-bottomed pot and add the baked chicken
• Garnish with fresh parsley or coriander
• Serve with organic brown basmati rice or whole wheat naan and enjoy!

ANITA'S CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• In large Dutch oven or kettle, combine chicken, bouillon cubes, butter, celery, onion, carrots, parsley, poultry season, rosemary, salt, pepper; cover with water and bring to a boil. Turn down temperature and cook on low until chicken and vegetables are tender. (approximately 1 hour) Remove chicken breasts, cool, and cut up in bite size pieces and return to vegetable broth mixture in kettle.
• --- BISQUICK DUMPLINGS ---
• 2 cups Bisquick baking mix
• 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon poultry seasoning
• 1 dash ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon dried or fresh parsley -- minced
• 2/3 cup milk
• For dumplings, combine bisquick mix, thyme, black pepper, nutmeg, poultry seasoning, parsley; stir in milk just until moistened.
• I usually double the dumpling recipe because we like lots of dumplings and a thicker gravy.
• Drop by tablespoonfuls onto the boiling broth. Cook uncovered, for 10 minutes; cover and cook 10-15 minutes longer.
