Heat a deep saucepan or pot over medium heat.
Add butter. Once melted, add diced onions and sauté until onions are translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
Add garlic and Quick Butter Chicken Blend, then stir regularly for 1 minute until the mix is fragrant.
Next, add tomato paste, and continue stirring the mixture regularly for a further minute.
Pour in the coconut cream and lemon juice, stir to combine, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. You can adjust the consistency of the mixture to your liking by adding water if desired.
Once the mixture is simmering, add chicken pieces along with any hard vegetables such as carrots or pumpkin, if desired. Turn heat down to low, and return to a simmer.
Continue simmering all ingredients for 10-15 minutes if you are using chicken breasts, or 15-20 minutes if you are using chicken thighs and any hard vegetables. Add soft vegetables such as cauliflower florets in the last 5-10 minutes of cooking.

Absolutely delicious. It is a family favourite. So easy to cook. I added cauliflower this time and it was yummy.
Loved this! So easy. I added sweet potato and zucchini.first time using this spice and will definitely do it again.
This was much nicer than the Butter Chicken we had at our Indian the other night.
It had a delicate taste, everyone loved it!!
So quick and easy!!!
I added some baby spinach in it to
make it a little healthier and add some colour……and a great way to use up some left over chicken….
Total Sucess….
Absolutely beautiful! I would do it again! Next time I’ll fry the chicken chunks very briefly, separately, to seal in the juices & only simmer them in with everything for just under 10 mins.
This butter chicken recipe is better than eating it at a restaurant.
Absolutely magnificent!
Finger licking Good.
