LIME BUTTER CHICKEN



Lime Butter Chicken image

Canadians adore Butter Chicken. Not only has it soared to one of Canadians most ordered entrées in Indian restaurants but you can even buy frozen prepared butter chicken in most supermarkets. So you know it is a great main for your next party and if you follow our easy version you can quickly make it at home and fortunately the flavour improves with being made ahead. My version adds a little excitement with lime juice to wake up the complex flavor and cut the richness. Another plus of this version is that less than a teaspoon of butter a serving adds a luxuriousness of flavor to this already pleasingly fiery sauce. It's a snap to double or triple this recipe if you're having a crowd. Be sure to have rice to soak up all the complex flavoured sauce.

Provided by Developed for CFC by Monda Rosenberg

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
2 cups chicken broth
1 jalapeno including seeds, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, crushed
finely grated peel and juice of 1 lime
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tsp garam masala (optional)
½ tsp salt
1 cup table cream
or
½ cup whipping cream
2 tomatoes, coarsely chopped
2 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp cold butter
1 cup frozen peas (optional)
½ cup coarsely chopped coriander

Steps:

  • Cut chicken into large bite-size pieces, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide. In a large frying pan, combine broth, jalapeno (If you are not a fiery fan remove seeds before chopping), garlic, lime peel and juice, plus cumin, garam masala and salt. To develop flavor, boil gently, uncovered, until reduced to about a cup (250 mL), about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in cream, tomatoes and chicken. Cover and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat so mixture just simmers. Simmer, covered and stirring often, until chicken feels springy when tapped, about 10 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, stir cornstarch with 2 Tbsp (30 mL) water. Increase heat to medium. Stir fairly constantly until thickened, about 3 minutes. Cut cold butter into 6 pieces. Add one piece to the sauce and stir constantly until melted. Repeat with remaining pieces. Add peas, if using, and stir often until hot. Turn into a serving dish or spoon over rice on plates and sprinkle with coriander.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lime juice: Fresh lime juice will give your dish a brighter, more vibrant flavor than bottled lime juice.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a delicate protein, and it can easily become dry and tough if it is overcooked. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, about 7-8 minutes per side.
  • Serve immediately: Chicken in lime butter is best served immediately after it is cooked. This dish does not hold well, so it is important to eat it while it is fresh.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro: Fresh cilantro adds a nice pop of color and flavor to this dish. If you don't have fresh cilantro on hand, you can substitute parsley or basil.

Chicken in lime butter is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great dish to serve to guests, as it is both delicious and impressive. The combination of zesty lime and rich butter creates a flavor that is sure to please everyone.
