I paired this Better than Takeout Butter Chicken with roasted chickpeas which can easilt be made with salt and pepper.. and maybe a little garlic. (any seasoning of your choice) as well as cauliflower rice and a small salad. From start ti finish, it took maybe 30 minutes to make. The result is a creamy and tender chicken that's full of flavor!
Indian food is by far one of my favorite cuisines! This recipe is inspired by my favorite takeout dish - Butter Chicken! Butter Chicken has always had a special place in my heart. In fact, when making this dish, I was craving Butter Chicken and my favorite Indian restaurant was closed. Little did I know that this dish would turn out to be better than takeout!
What I love about this dish is how creamy it is. It's interesting because I believe that the ingredients that make this dish so delicious is actually heavy cream and tomato paste as opposed to butter. When tomato paste and heavy cream come together with butter, chili powder, and garam masala - magic happens! It's like a party for your tastebuds!

I spend more money than I care to admit on takeout and Butter Chicken is one of my favorite things to order from the Indian place around the corner. I decided to give this recipe a try in an effort to recreate my favorite dish and OMG I don't think I'll ever need to order out again. This is so good and easy enough to make that I'll be saving lots of money. Thanks for another great recipe!
