Butter Chicken & Homemade Garlic Naan

with Dark Meat Chicken, Basmati Rice & Cilantro

20 min
Difficulty: 3/3

When you have a little extra time (think weekend meal!), bake this deliciously puffy, chewy, from-scratch naan! You’ll mix, rest, and roll out dough while sizzling chicken with earthy spices and simmering in a buttery tomato sauce. Ladle the chicken over a bed of fluffy rice, drizzle with yogurt, and sprinkle with cilantro; then serve with warm, golden-brown naan brushed with garlic butter.

Preparation
1
Start Prep & Mix Dough

  • Wash and dry produce.

  • In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup + 2 TBSP flour (you'll use more later), 1 tsp yeast, ½ tsp sugar, ½ tsp salt, and a big pinch of pepper. (For 4 servings, use 2 cups + 4 TBSP flour, 2 tsp yeast, 1 tsp sugar, and 1 tsp salt.)

  • Add two packets of yogurt, ¼ cup warm water, and ½ TBSP oil (four packets of yogurt, ½ cup warm water, and 1 TBSP oil for 4). Stir until just combined and dough is sticky.

  • Sprinkle 2 TBSP flour (4 TBSP for 4) over a clean work surface. (Be sure to measure the flour—we sent more!) Place dough on floured surface and shape into a ball. Reserve bowl.

2
Knead & Proof Dough

  • Hold dough with one hand and firmly press down and away with the other, then fold dough over itself. Repeat until dough is smooth and surface has a slight shine, 8-10 minutes. (If dough becomes too sticky, sprinkle hands and surface with some of the remaining flour to make kneading easier.)

  • Reshape dough into a ball and return to bowl. Cover with a clean, damp kitchen towel and set aside in a warm location until doubled in size, 1-1½ hours. TIP: Place covered bowl on top of the fridge or on stovetop with a 200-degree preheated oven to create the perfect warm environment.

3
Cook Rice & Finish Prep

  • Once dough has almost doubled in size, in a small pot, combine rice¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.

  • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

  • While rice cooks, place 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) and half the garlic powder (you’ll use the rest later) in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave until melted, 30-40 seconds. Stir to combine.

  • Roughly chop cilantro.

4
Start Butter Chicken

  • Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid.

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 6-8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium.

  • Add garam masala, curry powder, and remaining garlic powder to pan with chicken. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds.

5
Finish Butter Chicken

  • Stir in tomato paste, Vidalia onion paste, and stock concentrate until combined. Add cream sauce base and ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings). Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened, 2-3 minutes.

  • Add 1 TBSP butter and ¼ tsp sugar (2 TBSP butter and ½ tsp sugar for 4). Cook, stirring, until butter has melted, 30-60 seconds. Reduce heat to low; cover to keep warm until ready to serve, stirring occasionally.

6
Cook Naan

  • Once dough has doubled in size, transfer to a clean work surface. Halve dough (quarter dough for 4 servings) and reshape each piece into a ball. Using the palm of your hand, gently flatten each ball. Using a rolling pin, roll out each flattened dough ball into a round, about 7 inches wide and ¼ inch thick.

  • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Carefully add one dough round at a time to pan. Cook until bottom is golden brown and top begins to bubble, 1-2 minutes. Carefully flip; cook until golden brown, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board.

7
Finish & Serve

  • Brush naan with garlic butter; quarter.

  • Fluff rice with a fork.

  • Divide rice between bowls. Top with butter chicken. Drizzle with remaining yogurt and garnish with cilantro. Serve with garlic naan.
