Easy Butter Chicken
Description
This recipe starts by browning diced chicken breast in olive oil over medium-high heat until cooked through and lightly browned. Then, a jar of Patak’s Butter Chicken Curry Simmer Sauce is poured over the chicken, and the mixture is gently simmered for about 15 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the flavors to meld with the chicken.
The dish is completed by serving it atop basmati rice, which provides a fragrant and fluffy base to balance the creamy, spiced sauce. A garnish of fresh cilantro adds a bright herbal contrast. The cooking method is simple, relying on convenience to produce a classic butter chicken flavor without extra preparation.
Pre-made sauces simplify this dish, making it accessible for quick weeknight meals. The recipe recommends appropriate cookware and tools for an easy cooking experience.
