Many of the butter chicken recipes I have come across are pretty complex. They require multiple ingredients and long marinating times; some even require ingredients to be blitzed in a food processor. This one is made with the simplest ingredients, and I can have dinner on the table within 15 minutes. The flavour is so intense and delicious. Bite-sized pieces of perfectly cooked chicken in a creamy butter chicken sauce is the perfect recipe for a fast and easy dinner.
To serve (pictured):
MAKE AHEAD AND LEFTOVERS – Cook and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating. Freezing may change the texture and cause the cream to separate, but the flavour will still be amazing.

Absolutely delicious! I’ve made this a few times and everyone in the family loves it! For my large family I double the recipe – during winter I’ve started popping it in the slow cooker – whole chicken breasts for 4 hours on low – perfection!

I also threw in some frozen beans & red capsicum
Great depth of flavours definitely won’t be using the packets anymore.
Love your page x

So crazy that this is so yummy with how easy it is! Iv been making butter chicken for years with a million different ingredients and what feels like 200 steps, to then make this which is equally as delicious and so simple with minimal ingredients. On regular repeat here

This was amazing and even better the next day. Very tasty recipe and the great thing was I had majority of the ingredients in the pantry. We also added broccoli to it as that needed to be used up
Nicole says:
Love the addition of broccoli making it a one pot meal! Thank you so much, so glad you love it as much as we do! x

This is one of our favourite meals! It is so easy and delicious. I just add whatever veg I have (capsicum, carrot, spinach, green beans) and some natural yogurt to serve. So much yummier than a take away curry or jar sauce.

I think I have made butter chicken using every possible supermarket recipe base and also some “from scratch” time consuming recipes. Never with any success.
This recipe though! OMG!!!! Next level. So so easy, absolutely delicious. I’ve made it numerous times now and it never disappoints.
