Easy Indian Chicken

The (non-paleo but primal) grass-fed butter in this recipe makes it rich, delicious, and finger-licking good! Add fresh chopped mint for a refreshing garnish that’ll please the palate. If you’d like to make it using something other than grass-fed butter, ghee could work. Alternatively, you could leave the butter out completely, though the finished dish won’t be as rich.
