10 Minute Butter Chicken
Dinner is always a hard meal for me. Sometimes I plan what I am going to whip up but get wrapped up in the dealings of the afternoon. Before I know it everyone is starving and I’ve got to get dinner on the table fast. That is where this yummy and quick 10 minute butter chicken recipe comes in. It is so fast and direct that I can get it on the table before the family becomes too ravenous.
This recipe comes together quickly but requires a little bit of multitasking. Enlist some help to keep the family distracted. One can stir the sauce and another can keep and eye on the chicken. Cook up some minute rice if you don’t have cooked rice on hand.
When all the parts are ready plating only takes a minute. Simply dish up some rice. Add a chicken breast on top or chop it up. Then top with a sauce and garnish with cilantro. Yummy!
