- I like to marinate chicken for at least 1 hour, but you can also marinate this overnight in the refrigerator for more taste. The marinade helps to give a light tight-style taste to the chicken, without giving everyone grill (or tandoor).
- I prefer to make this dish in non-stick or good-season cast iron skillet to help without sticking to the chicken brown.
- Want to add some spice? For a little extra heat, the keen pepper is free to toss a pinch of pepper!
Instructions for serving
I usually serve this homemade butter chicken with rice (ideal basmati or our Yellow jasmine riceBut will do any kind of kind)) and a Homemade nan Or chapatis to sink. A Fresh tomato salad There is a great pair of fresh and juicy side to the side.
Storage and rehatiting
This simple butter chicken recipe really good store! I let any of the rest of the remaining people cool completely, then transferred them to an airtight container and brought to the fridge for 3-4 days. To regenerate, I usually heat the scallet on medium heat, if the sauce is thicker, add a splash of water. You can do a microwave in small blasts until you are hot. As freezing, transfer it to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 3 months. Just note that cream sauce can sometimes be separated after melting.
