Butter chicken recipe using crystallized ginger
Last Updated on
This is a delicious butter chicken recipe that has a bit of a kick to it, thanks to the addition of crystallized ginger. It’s a quick and easy recipe to make, and it’s perfect for a weeknight meal. Serve it with some steamed rice and a side of naan bread, and you’ve got a complete meal.
Ingredients:
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons finely chopped crystallized ginger
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
In a large bowl, combine the chicken, olive oil, onion, garlic, garam masala, turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Toss to coat the chicken evenly.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken mixture and cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Add the tomato sauce and heavy cream to the skillet and stir to combine. Add the crystallized ginger and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Serve with steamed rice and naan bread.
Butter chicken is one of those dishes that is so easy to make and yet so delicious. This recipe has a bit of a kick to it from the crystallized ginger, but it’s still a very family-friendly dish. I like to serve it with some steamed rice and a side of naan bread, but it would also be good with some mashed potatoes or even just a simple salad
