This dreamy butter chicken is one of my all-time favorites—rich, creamy, and ready in under 30 minutes! Tender chicken, bold spices, and a silky tomato-cream sauce come together for the ultimate comfort dish.

Start by marinating cubed chicken breasts with yogurt, olive oil, and your favorite spice blend (like curry powder, chili powder, cumin, and paprika). Let it sit for 30 minutes. In a large pan, heat butter and olive oil, then sauté chopped onion, minced garlic, jalapeño, and ginger.

Cook the chicken until golden, then add one can of tomato sauce and 1½ cups of heavy cream. Stir well and simmer for 10 minutes. Adjust with more spices if needed—think cinnamon, chili, and a touch more curry. Simmer again for 2 minutes with the lid on.

Serve with jasmine rice and garlic naan for the full experience. So simple, so flavorful—check the video below for the full recipe!
