Directions:
In a large pan over medium-high heat, cook the chicken breasts in the oil until browned on both sides. Set aside, or transfer to a slow cooker.

Add a little more oil to the skillet and cook the onion until starting to brown. Add the garlic and cook for another minute, then add the chili powder, turmeric, and cinnamon and cook for another minute. Slice the chicken on a slight diagonal, don't worry that it's not cooked through.

Add the tomatoes and tomato paste and bring to a simmer, then pour over the chicken in the slow cooker and set on low for 5-6 hours or high for 2, or return the chicken to the skillet, cover, and simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened and the chicken is cooked through.

Turn the heat down to low and stir in the butter or margarine, garam masala, yogurt, and cream. Season with salt and pepper.

Serve immediately, with rice.
