Creamy Butter Chicken GF DF

Creamy Butter Chicken GF DF does not have to be lathered in cream and butter. I have created a healthy version that will actually give you nutritional benefits!

This dish, of course as always, is easy with minimal ingredients. I love to cook with chicken drumsticks as they offer maximum flavour to this dish without adding stock. The spices blend beautifully with the coconut cream and the touch of passata to create a beautiful colour of goodness.

Always serve with condiments such as fried shallots, fresh chilli, lemon wedges and Greek yoghurt. You could also add gluten free naan bread or pappadums to dip into the creamy sauce. I love to serve with Basmati Rice as its light and the perfect grain to compliment the chicken.

Your family will love my Creamy Butter Chicken GF DF and will not even know that is gluten and dairy free. Say goodbye to jar sauces, this is your new way to cook with health in mind.

Instructions

Let’s get cooking!

1. Place a large frypan on your stove top. I love to use my Paella Pan. Drizzle olive oil and panfry the garlic and onion for 1 minute. Add your spices and combine for 1 min
2. Add the drumsticks to brown the skin. Add a dash of olive oil to loosen the spice mix. Once both sides are brown, reduce the heat and add coconut cream along with the passata. Stir to combine.
3. Cover with a lid and allow to simmer gently, season with salt and pepper
4. After 20 minutes, the drumsticks will be cooked beautifully. Just piece the meat closest to the bone to ensure the chicken is completely cooked through
5. Serve with basmati rice and condimetnts.
