Indian-Style Butter Chicken & Rice

2x the delicious portions!

5 min
Difficulty: 2/3

Warm your heart (and belly) with our Indian-inspired butter chicken! You’ll sizzle chicken thighs with earthy garam masala and curry powder, then simmer in a buttery tomato sauce. Ladle it all over a bed of fluffy rice, then drizzle with yogurt and sprinkle with cilantro for a tangy-herbaceous finish, and serve with cheesy garlic pitas on the side.

Preparation
1
COOK RICE

  • Wash and dry produce.

  • In a medium pot (large pot for 8 servings), combine rice, 2¼ cups water (4½ cups for 8), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer.

  • Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

2
PREP & MAKE GARLIC BUTTER

  • While rice cooks, place 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 8 servings) in a small microwave-safe bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Microwave until melted, 30 seconds. Add half the garlic powder (you’ll use the rest later) and stir to combine. Set aside.

  • Roughly chop cilantro.

3
COOK CHICKEN

  • Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid. Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large, preferably high-sided, pan over medium-high heat (use a second large pot for 8 servings). Add chicken in a single layer and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 6-8 minutes (8-10 minutes for 8).

  • Reduce heat to medium.

4
MAKE SAUCE

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

  • Add tomato paste, Vidalia onion paste, veggie stock concentrates, and chicken stock concentrates. Cook, stirring, until chicken is evenly coated, 30 seconds.

  • Add cream sauce base and ¾ cup water (1¼ cups for 8 servings). Stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened, 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

  • Add 3 TBSP butter and ½ tsp sugar (6 TBSP butter and 1 tsp sugar for 8); stir until butter has melted. Cover to keep warm.

5
MAKE GARLIC FLATBREADS

  • Adjust rack to top position and heat broiler to high. Place pitas on a baking sheet. Spoon garlic butter over tops and sprinkle with mozzarella.

  • Broil garlic pitas until cheese melts and pitas are toasted, 3-4 minutes. TIP: The broiler is a powerful tool! Keep an eye on the pitas to prevent them from burning.

6
FINISH & SERVE

  • Quarter cheesy garlic flatbreads.

  • Fluff rice with a fork. Divide rice between bowls and top with butter chicken. Drizzle with yogurt. Garnish with cilantro. Serve with cheesy garlic flatbreads on the side.
