Easy Butter Chicken Recipe<\/h2>\n

Of course, there are many versions of butter chicken recipes, but today, I\u2019m sharing one that my family and I love. Like our chicken tikka masala<\/a>, it\u2019s certainly not an authentic recipe, but it\u2019s made with easy-to-find pantry staples I almost always have on hand. I marinate the chicken with Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, and lots of spices to make it extra tender and flavorful, then simmer it all in a buttery, spiced tomato cream sauce. It\u2019s a total weeknight winner in my house and always satisfies our takeout cravings! <\/p>\n
