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.

We’ve made butter chicken from scratch multiple times. It’s delicious but time consuming. THIS is easy and tastes SO good! Would definitely recommend. Yum!
My families favourite. Pleases all four of the kids which is a very tough task 😃

I don’t like butter chicken, but I made this for my partner. I tried it and I now like THIS butter chicken. We have it reasonably often and highly recommend this recipe.
