One Pan Butter Chicken

Ingredients

  • 750g boneless skinless chicken thighs, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup natural yoghurt
  • 15g fresh peeled ginger, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp dried fenugreek leaves
  • 1 tbsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 4 tbsp Pic’s Crunchy Peanut Butter
  • 1 cup passata
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • To serve: cream to drizzle, fresh coriander to garnish, and rice

Directions

  1. Add the chicken to a large shallow bowl or container. Add the yoghurt, ginger, garlic, lime juice, fenugreek and spices. Mix to coat. Cover and place in the fridge for 3 hours, or overnight, to marinate.

  2. When ready to cook, heat a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken (reserving any residual yoghurt marinade from the dish), and cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browning all over.

  3. Add the passata, peanut butter, ½ cup of water and any residual marinade left from the chicken. Stir well, ensuring the peanut butter is incorporated into the sauce. Reduce the heat to medium-low.

  4. Put the lid on and cook for 30 minutes or until thickened.

  5. Remove the lid and stir through the sugar and salt. Allow to simmer until thickened to your desired consistency.

  6. Serve hot, with a drizzle of cream, some fresh coriander, and rice.
