Low Calorie Butter Chicken Curry

Print Recipe

A lighter version of the traditional butter chicken that maintains rich flavors using Greek yogurt and less butter.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 500g Chicken Breast, Diced
  • 1 Cup Greek Yogurt
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1 Onion, Chopped
  • 2 Garlic Cloves, Minced
  • 1 Tablespoon Ginger, Minced
  • 2 Tablespoons Curry Powder
  • 1 Can Diced Tomatoes
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 Cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
  • Fresh Cilantro for Garnish

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Aromatics: Start by heating up your butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once it’s melted and bubbly, toss in the chopped onion. Sauté it for about 5 minutes until it’s soft and translucent. Then, add in the minced garlic and ginger and stir constantly for about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add the Chicken: Next, it’s time for the main attraction! Add the diced chicken to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and curry powder. Stir everything well and cook for around 8-10 minutes until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
  3. Incorporate the Tomatoes: Pour in the can of diced tomatoes, along with their juices. Stir everything together and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
  4. Whisk in the Broth: Now, add the low-sodium chicken broth and bring it to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes.
  5. Final Touch with Greek Yogurt: Take it off the heat, let it cool for a minute before stirring in the Greek yogurt. Ensure it’s well combined.
  6. Serve It Up: Garnish with fresh cilantro. Enjoy this comforting curry over rice, with naan, or zucchini noodles.
