1
Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Meanwhile, combine cream, tomato sauce, remaining butter, salt, cayenne pepper, and garam masala in a saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a simmer.
4
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Stir in caramelized onions.
5
While the sauce is simmering, toss chicken with vegetable oil until coated. Season with tandoori masala and spread out onto a baking sheet.
6
Bake chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 12 minutes.
7
Add cooked chicken to the sauce and simmer for 5 minutes before serving.
