Yummy Butter Garlic Chicken Recipe

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

In a bowl, combine chicken cubes, ¾ tsp salt, 1 tsp each of garlic paste and ginger paste, 1½ tbsp cornflour, 1 tsp pepper, and 1½ tbsp cooking oil. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.

Heat a sufficient amount of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and fry for 7-8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Try not to move the chicken too much to get those nice brown marks.

Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

In the same pan, reduce the oil if necessary, and melt 1 tbsp of butter. Add 1½ tbsp chopped garlic, chopped green chili, and the cubed bell pepper. Sprinkle with ¼ tsp of salt.

Sauté until the garlic turns slightly brownish.

Add 1½ tsp of soy sauce to the pan and stir well.

Mix 1 tsp of cornstarch with ¼ cup of water to create a slurry. Pour this into the pan and cook for 30-40 seconds until the sauce thickens slightly.

Add the fried chicken back into the pan. Sprinkle with ½ tsp of pepper, a pinch of sugar, and a squeeze of lime juice.

Mix everything well to ensure the chicken is well coated with the sauce.

Cook for an additional minute to allow the flavors to meld together.

Serve this savory Butter Garlic Chicken hot, ideally with a side of steamed rice or noodles for a satisfying meal.
