🛒 Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless chicken breast
• 1 cup Heavy cream

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Step 1: Marinate the chicken breast in a mixture of ginger paste, garlic paste, garam masala powder, Kashmiri red chili powder, salt, and black pepper powder for at least 15 minutes.

2. 2

   Step 2: Heat butter or ghee in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off.

3. 3

   Step 3: Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.

4. 4

   Step 4: In a separate pan, add the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.

5. 5

   Step 5: Reduce the cream by half and stir in the garam masala powder and salt. Add the cooked chicken to the cream sauce and simmer until coated.

6. 6

   Step 6: Meanwhile, warm the Naan bread by wrapping it in a damp cloth and microwaving for 20-30 seconds or baking in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.

7. 7

   Step 7: Assemble the wraps by placing a piece of Naan bread on each plate, then topping with a spoonful of the butter chicken mixture, a sprinkle of cilantro leaves, and a squeeze of lemon juice.

8. 8

   Step 8: Serve immediately and garnish with sliced cucumber.

💡 Pro Tips

To make this recipe more authentic, use ghee instead of butter for a nuttier flavor. Be careful not to overcook the chicken, as it will become dry. If using Naan bread, you can toast it in a toaster or grill it lightly for a crisper texture.
