Introducing my kids to a variety of spices is important to me. I love serving exotic flavors to widen their palette, but I also like keeping dinnertime easy. Weeknight dinners have to come together quickly, be hearty enough to satisfy and be easy recipes that I can keep using. This Easy Indian Butter Chicken With Homemade Naan Bread is a favorite!
The secret to robust flavors without much time in the kitchen is using Passage To India simmer sauces. The Passage to India brand includes easy-to-use, authentic flavored simmer sauces which allow me to make Indian recipe cooking easy. Each sauce is developed by specialty chefs from the region of origin.
I can feel good about serving the sauces because they use only wholesome, all naturals ingredients. They are all non-GMO, BPA, and Gluten-free. Our family enjoys both Passage to India simmer sauce flavors:
- Tikki Masala
- Butter Chicken
To start, just brown off your diced chicken on the stove. Then add the simmer sauce and cover to cook longer. To complete our meal, I serve it over white rice and top cilantro. It takes less than 20 minutes from start to finish.
For an added authentic feel, I make my own Homemade Naan Bread recipe. You can easily make it ahead of time and warm it in the oven for a few minutes before serving.
Homemade Naan Bread Recipe: Serve With Indian Butter Chicken
Naan bread is actually much easier to make than most people think. Even though you leave it to rest for 30-45 minutes, don’t expect it to rise much. When it’s time to cook, you can substitute a lightly oiled pan over the stovetop if you don’t have a grill.
My recipe includes a bit of garlic to add a deeper earthy flavor. You can always add more or less, depending on what your preference is.
