Kids love butter chicken because although it's a curry, it's a very mild version and is easy on even the most sensitive tummy.
Butter chicken curry paste can be replaced with any mild curry paste, like korma.
For a change, replace diced chicken breast with chicken thigh fillets and cut away the excess fat.

700g diced chicken breast
1⁄4 cup butter chicken curry paste
1 tblsp olive oil
400g can cherry tomatoes in juice
300ml tub light thickened cooking cream
