Ingredients

  • 1 serving butter chicken paste
  • 1/3 cup light coconut milk
  • 1 cup chickpeas
  • 12 oz boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup light sour cream
  • 1/2 cup tomato paste
  • 1/2 tbsp curry powder
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 slice large onion

Directions

  • Heat some oil in a wok. Take the defrosted chicken breasts and cut them into cubes or thinly slice.
  • Sauté chicken until no longer raw and put on a side plate temporarily.
  • Sauté garlic and onions until translucent then add the chicken back into the wok.
  • Add sour cream and coconut milk (optional, the curry will still taste delicious).
  • Add tomato paste, curry powder and butter chicken packet. Add chickpeas and let cook on low heat for about 10 minutes before serving over brown rice.
  • Note: adding cilantro is also optional if you want to jazz it up a bit. If you feel you need more of any of the ingredient, just add until you like the taste.
