Description

Imagine succulent chicken thighs, bathed in a luscious, aromatic sauce, ready to transport your taste buds to a realm of pure culinary bliss. This butter chicken, slow-cooked to perfection, offers a symphony of flavors and textures that will leave you craving more. The preparation begins with browning the chicken thighs in a skillet until the skin turns a beautiful golden hue, promising a delightful crispness.

Then, the aromatic foundation of the curry is built. Finely diced garlic and onions are softened in butter, their sweet fragrance mingling with an array of warming spices. Chilli powder provides a gentle warmth, ginger adds a zesty note, curry powder lends its signature earthiness, and turmeric contributes a vibrant color and subtle depth.

A touch of sweetener enhances the natural sweetness of the other ingredients, creating a balanced flavor profile. Tomato sauce and chicken stock are then added, forming the rich and flavorful curry gravy in which the chicken simmers. As the chicken cooks, it becomes incredibly tender, practically melting in your mouth.

Simultaneously, the sauce reduces, intensifying the flavors and creating a luxurious coating. Finally, a swirl of heavy cream is added, enriching the sauce and lending it a velvety smoothness. This butter chicken is an ideal main course, perfectly complementing a variety of side dishes.

Consider serving it with fluffy cauliflower rice to soak up the delectable sauce or a refreshing salsa to provide a cool contrast. Alternatively, pair it with your favorite flatbreads, perfect for scooping up every last morsel of the flavorful curry.

Instructions

    1.
    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin side down, and cook until well browned, about 5 minutes. Turn the thighs and cook the other side until lightly golden all over. Remove from the skillet with a slotted spoon and set aside.
    2.
    Melt a generous tablespoon of butter in the same skillet. Thinly slice the garlic and onion and add to the pan. Sweat gently for a few minutes until soft and tender, then add the ginger, chili powder, curry powder, turmeric, and erythritol. Stir well to combine, warming the spices in the butter.
    3.
    Add the marinara sauce and stock to the pan. Stir well to combine, infusing the sauce with the spices.
    4.
    Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, ensuring they are spread out in an even layer. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 40 minutes uncovered, or until the sauce is thickened and reduced by half and the chicken is completely cooked through.
    5.
    Once the sauce is thickened and the chicken cooked, drizzle the cream into the skillet. Give it a good stir into the sauce. You can remove the thighs from the pan to do this if it is easier. Serve hot.
