Professional Chef Makes Chicken Makhani (Butter Chicken) For the FIRST time.
This delicious Butter Chicken recipe features thin-cut marinated and seared chicken that is finished in a delectable chili tomato and butter sauce. This is one of my wife's and my all-time favorite dishes.
Butter chicken, better known as Murgh Makhani, is a classic Northern Indian recipe consisting of thin-cut pieces of marinated chicken that are served in a roasted onion, tomato, spice, and chili sauce that is finished with butter and heavy cream. The sauce the chicken is served in is a form of curry.
This is an extremely popular recipe in Indian cuisine, and you will commonly see it on Indian restaurant menus. You can prepare this dish in its entirety in under 90 minutes from start to finish making it a perfect weeknight meal.
