I have experimented with various different recipes for butter chicken. For tonight's dinner I decided to put the Epicure Selection's Butter Chicken from their "What's for Dinner" collection to the test. I have made this recipe in the past, following the directions on the package and found it to be good but missing something. So tonight I altered it a little and it turned out REALLY, REALLY good!
I started with one package of Epicure Selection's Butter Chicken (for $3.99 a package or $9.99 for 3 it is a great deal). There are no artificial flavors or preservatives in it blend, simply the perfect mix of spices needed to make a mouth watery dish. It is also healthier for you . . . The recipe on the package is easy, low sodium and LOW FAT. Unlike other Butter Chicken's on the market, or even homemade recipes, there is much less salt and no cream added, thus cutting the fat content drastically.
My alteration to the recipe was simple - substitute the cup of water for a cup of unsweetened almond milk and 3 tablespoons water. I used chicken thighs instead of breasts, as I find they are more tender in this kind of dish. Also, use Greek yogurt for this recipe, it really makes a difference in the consistency. I chopped about 3 tablespoons Italian parsley and stirred it in after I added the yogurt which added a nice colour to the dish. From start to finish it only took 30 minutes to make. I served it with basmati rice and a green salad.
In the end you will have a fast, healthy, family friendly dinner and everyone at the table will be licking their plates off when they are done because it is so good. Thank you Epicure for coming out with this product this year - I love it!
Try it yourself. Post you comments on the product and your own variations to the recipe.
