- 2 lb(s) Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast (cut into 1″ squares)

- Add the chicken to a large bowl and season with salt, and black pepper to your taste, along with 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp turmeric, and 1 tsp garam masala. Mix to combine and set aside.
- Melt 2 tbsp. of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chicken, and sear on all sides. Once browned, remove the chicken, set on a plate, and cover with foil to keep warm.

Simmer for 10 minutes.
- After simmering for 10 minutes, remove the cover, and stir in the last 2 tbsp. of butter, being careful not to burn the sauce. Season with more salt and pepper to your taste.
