Butter Chicken

When If my girls help me in the kitchen I usually tell them, “when you are making a recipe for the first time make sure you read all the directions”. Well I should take my own advice. First of all I didn’t marinate the chicken over night. Duh! #1. Then I had to cut the messy marinated chicken into bite size pieces. Duh! #2. Despite my temporary cooking ignorance our dinner was delish. At least I thought so but in the words of Haillie, “this was good but you don’t make it again”. *lol* It was a tad spicy hot for the girls, I should of cut back on the cayenne pepper I guess. Duh! #3.
