Categories     Chicken Recipes in Under 30 Minutes

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (I use non-fat)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons garam masala (see notes)
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 teaspoons black pepper
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 small onion, diced
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (I use non-fat)
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Place the cut pieces of chicken in a bowl or tiptop plastic bag. Combine all of the marinate ingredients in a bowl and stir well. (It will be very thick.) Pour the marinate ingredients over the chicken and stir to coat all of the chicken. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 8 hours (see notes).
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add canola oil.
  • Add onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  • Add the marinated chicken (along with all of the marinade) to the pan. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the yogurt and water, reduce the heat to medium or medium-low, enough to maintain a steady simmer. Let cook for 8-10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and sauce is thickened.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper (it may not need any).
  • Serve the chicken hot with extra sauce spooned over top.

LOW-FAT VERSION OF INDIAN BUTTER CHICKEN



Low-Fat Version of Indian Butter Chicken image

This dish is super tasty and reasonably simple to prepare. Because I cook for a multi-generational household (ages range from 3 y/o to 93 y/o) I have to make a number of tweaks to accommodate everyone's needs. As a result, recipes often end up lower salt, lower fat, higher fiber and some of the spicier spices get reduced. Chef 4TeenSon's Chicken Makhani (Indian Butter Chicken) was the inspiration for this dish, but I wanted to get the nutrition facts for my altered version, so that is why I'm posting it instead of just making notes. I actually grabbed the wrong spice bottle (cinnamon sugar) instead of the cinnamon bottle, but we decided we liked this dish even better with that bit of sweetness. I use Whole Foods frozen cooked brown rice as it cooks up in a matter of minutes in the microwave. Their frozen Jasmine rice is wonderful too. You can cook some veggies while the chicken is simmering. I usually steam some whole leaf spinach and zap some frozen peas & carrots for our sides. This dish smells glorious when cooking and tastes just as good!
