Mrs BC, Debbie and I.
A month ago {time flies folks} I was invited to a BBQ hosted by Lenard’s Chicken. Each of the blogger’s were given a $50 voucher prior to the event and a gift bag to take home from the event. Hubby and I went a little nuts at the Lenard’s counter when it came time to spend our voucher determined to use it all at once. Greedy kids we are.
When we realised just how much chicken a $50 voucher would buy we added a few of the stir in sauces to round out our total. For me, they are the total winner. When it comes to sauces I’ve almost given them all up for dead. Most are laden with sugar and taste like poo to be frank. The butter chicken has around 4g/100g of sugar which is great. Well within my window. Quick easy dinner win.
The butter chicken was super easy to make. The chicken we purchased was diced so we browned off some onion in a pan, added the chicken and tossed in the sauce. After a bit of bubbling away and a low heat simmer since I was finished cooking before the rice was finished, it was amazing. We ate it with a side order of greens, because you can never have too many and hey presto done.
Now we are not experts when it comes to Indian food. We enjoy it and appreciate it when there is different flavours in different dishes but we just don’t have that much experience. That said this was a tomatoey, creamy {I used the cream in it instead of the yoghurt because that’s what I had} dish. Glad to add it to the rotation. Happy to have had a chance to try it out. Even happier to recommend it.
The end.

Mmm, I love butter chicken! Don’t really have it though except when we go to indian restaurants though (once in a blue moon, hah). Completely agree about the store bough sauces tasting terrible, so I usually make my own. Good to know there are some nice ones out there though.
It’s the best. Butter chicken is always one of the dishes we select when we go out {one of FIVE usually}. What can I say, we love, love leftovers. Haha. I’ve made my own in my Thermomix which is fab {I have the Indian cookbook} but this is a great option when even whipping out the Thermie is a pain in the butt.
Yay! We have a Lenards up the road. Will investigate.

Also check out the chargrill rub fillets {or whole chicken but like us, that might be too much food for a 2 adult household} they are AMAZING. Tasty tasty.
