    • 🧄 1 tablespoon minced garlic
    • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion and garlic and cook slowly until the onion caramelizes to a dark brown, about 15 minutes.

4

Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Stir in the caramelized onions.

5

Toss chicken with vegetable oil until coated. Season with tandoori masala and spread out onto a baking sheet.

6

Bake chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 12 minutes.

7

Add cooked chicken to the sauce and simmer for 5 minutes before serving.
