Butter Chicken

This is one of those meals that comes from a jar. Easy enough??

My momma made this for the me the other night and just the aromatics alone had me salivating.

It was so good and so easy to throw together,

I just had to share it with you.

Butter Chicken with Peas and Jasmine Rice

serves 4

• 1 [large] boneless/skinless chicken breast
• 2 bags of Uncle Ben's Jasmine Ready Rice
• 1 cup of Punjabi Butter Chicken Simmer Sauce 
• [found @ Wegmans for sure...other grocery stores would have it in the "ethnic" or "foreign food" section.] 
• 1 tbsp curry powder
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp chopped basil
• 1 tbsp chopped parsley
• 1 cup frozen peas, cooked

1. begin by poaching chicken in a small pot over med-high heat with just enough water to cover chicken completely. add curry and garlic powder and let simmer until chicken is cooked through. remove chicken from pot and shred using 2 forks, then set aside.
2. cook ready rice in the microwave. then heat Butter Chicken Simmer Sauce in a medium-sized sauce pan over medium heat. add chicken and stir well to combine.
3. remove cooked rice from packages, and dump into a serving bowl. add basil and parsley and stir well.
4. once chicken is heated to desired temperature with simmer sauce, serve immediately over rice with a few spoonfuls of peas. a few crushed peanuts on top might be lovely as well!

Doesn't get much simpler than that folks.

This chicken is downright buttery. The Indian inspired flavors are soothing but

still have a slight punch that makes you dig in for more!

Dinner doesn't have to be fancy or time consuming to be good.

Remember my mantra? Keep it simple stupid.
