My family is very health conscious, I try to prepare meals that are high in flavour and low in fat. This recipe is economical and delicious. My inspiration came after having Butter Chicken at a restaurant with my husband. Both of us loved it. but Butter Chicken is very high in calories and fat. I decided to cook up my own version with less fat and more good things like vegetables and tomato sauce.
I like to serve this with couscous on the side and warmed pita bread. To prepare the pita, I mix olive oil and minced fresh garlic, brush this onto each pita, then stack them together and wrap tightly in foil. Then I bake them for 20 minutes at 375 F. My son uses the pita as a wrap, filling the pita with the chicken mixture!

In a bowl mix together: tomato sauce, curry powder, cumin, and garlic powder. Add tomato mixture to cooked chicken in frying pan and toss to coat chicken. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
