Butter chicken is rich, savory, creamy, and out of this world delicious. The entire dish can be made, from start to finish, in about 30 minutes which makes it a great weekday meal. I always serve mine up over a bed of steamed rice or mashed potatoes as the sauce is so nice when spoon over the top. Believe me, when you serve this up, your dinner guests and family will go wild. As usual, let us know what you think of our butter chicken.
Before making the recipe, let’s discuss a few tips and variations. To begin with, we use boneless, skinless breasts because they are healthier and easy to work with. I suppose you could use other cuts of chicken if you wish.
As with any recipe, you can alter the amounts of the ingredients according to your liking. For example, if you’re a garlic lover, add a little more. The same applies to the salt, pepper, etc. You can also add additional ingredients if you are so inclined. We make our butter milk from scratch simply because it’s cheaper and so easy to make. Real butter milk can be used, as well.
As I often mention in my recipes, don’t forget a nice garden salad and a glass of white wine with your butter chicken. Please, by all means, drop us a line and let us know what you think.

Ideal for small groups to wash down with a good Italian red and Dean Martin on the sound system,
Brilliant.
I serve it with Tagliatelle as it absorbs the creamy sauce fabulously
Give it a shot you won’t be disappointed
Just recently discovered Dave and is so easy to follow even the lousy puns and jokes are fun.
Get stuck in and try a few more you won’t regret it.
