This is the ultimate Butter Chicken recipe — rich, creamy, and bursting with aromatic spices. Tender chicken pieces are marinated in yogurt and spices, then simmered in a velvety tomato-butter sauce that is impossibly smooth and flavourful. This restaurant-quality Indian classic is surprisingly easy to make at home and tastes even better than takeout. Serve it over fluffy basmati rice with warm naan bread for the perfect comfort meal. A Canadian favourite that has become a weeknight staple in homes across the country.
