Easy Butter-Chicken Casserole image

This warmly spiced, but not spicy, twist on an Indian restaurant favorite is packed with flavor and has the perfect contrast of bright tomato and rich butter, for a well-balanced and not-at-all-boring chicken dinner. So, it might surprise you that all this is possible with kitchen staples and minimal effort. That's right: You can create complex Indian flavors with some powerful aromatics-onion, garlic, ginger-and a couple of standard spices. Once you've got your ingredients perfectly seasoned, all that's left is to dump the ingredients in your casserole dish and pop it in the oven!
