Creamy Spiced Butter Chicken with Basmati
Tender chicken breast simmered in a velvety tomato and coconut sauce, served over fragrant basmati rice for a comforting and aromatic meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup basmati rice
0.5 cup tomato puree
1 tbsp full-fat coconut milk
1 tsp ghee
1 clove garlic
0.5 tsp ginger
1 tsp garam masala
0.25 tsp turmeric
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp cilantro
PREPARATION
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch bite-sized pieces and season evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the ghee in a large skillet over medium-high heat until melted and shimmering.
Add the chicken to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes until golden brown on all sides, then remove chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the garam masala and turmeric, toasting the spices for 30 seconds to release their oils.
Pour in the tomato puree and return the chicken to the skillet, stirring to coat.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Stir in the full-fat coconut milk to create a rich, creamy texture.
Serve the butter chicken over a bed of warm, cooked basmati rice and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro.
