  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 2 tablespoons butter
– 1 medium onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
– 1 can (14 ounces) crushed tomatoes
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 2 tablespoons garam masala
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 4 pieces of flatbread or naan
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish
– Lemon wedges, for serving


Instructions

Creating Easy Butter Chicken Flatbread is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to bring this dish to life:

1. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

2. Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion. Sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.

3. Make the Sauce: Stir in the crushed tomatoes, heavy cream, garam masala, cumin, and paprika. Bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing it to thicken slightly.

4. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, stirring to coat with the sauce. Let it simmer for another 5-7 minutes, adjusting seasoning if necessary.

5. Prepare Flatbreads: While the chicken is simmering, warm the flatbreads or naan in a separate skillet or oven. Once warm, remove from heat.
