–
Chicken:
• 2 chicken breast, cubed (approx. 300g total)
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp salt, pepper, garlic powder, ginger, paprika, chili powder, and turmeric
• 1 tsp garam masala
• squeeze of half a lemon

Butter Chicken Sauce:

• 1/4 tsp salt, pepper, paprika, chili powder and turmeric
• 1/2 tsp paprika and garam masala
• drizzle of honey (approx. 1/2 tsp)
–
Rice (optional):
• I use 1/2 cup uncooked Brown or White Rice, which yields approx. 1 and a half to 2 cups of cooked rice.

Notes:
• I like to top this dish off with freshly chopped cilantro for a flavour boost.
• If you’d like to increase the spice, add cayenne pepper or substitute chili powder for kashmiri chili powder
• Allow your sauce to blend for up to 1 minute for a very smooth and creamy texture
• This recipe can be made in large batches to meal prep for the week.
