  • Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • Ground Ginger
  • Cumin
  • Cayenne Pepper
  • Turmeric
  • Cinnamon

How to Make Babzy S Better Butter Chicken Ww 4 Points

  1. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced. Sauté until onions are softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Slice 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon garam masala, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon chili powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Add the chicken pieces and toss until evenly coated.
  4. Add the chicken to the saucepan with the onions and garlic. Cook until the chicken is lightly browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt, 1 (14.5 ounce) can fat-free diced tomatoes, undrained, and 1/4 cup fat-free sour cream. Add an additional 1/2 teaspoon garam masala. Pour the mixture over the chicken.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  7. Serve the butter chicken over 1 cup cooked brown rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
