Butter chicken is a well-known Indian dish that is very similar to chicken curry and chicken tikka masala. The chicken is marinated in a spiced Greek yogurt marinade, then added to a creamy tomato sauce that is mildly flavored with a few more spices, including curry, cumin, tandoori masala, and chili. Mix the Greek yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt and some freshly cracked pepper in a bowl. Scrape the thin layer of yellow zest from the lemon skin into the same bowl (you can use a fine cheese grater or a zester). Let the chicken brown on one side, and only cook partially and leave it aside.
