When I am craving comfort food, my mind often goes to a hearty serving of Butter Chicken. Super easy to make, this is a fantastic change of pace from your typical chicken dish.

If you have had Butter Chicken before you know that it’s a super flavorful Indian dish of tender chicken that simmered in a rich, delicious curry. And if you’ve never tried it, my recipe will make it easy for you to give it a go!

My recipe is a super easy version that really anyone can make. And after you allow a little time for the chicken to marinade, the actual cook time is under 30 minutes making it an ideal meal for a busy weeknight.

To get started, you’ll want to raid your spice cabinet to help you create a super tasty spiced yogurt marinade. Grab some garam masala, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder and turmeric. Notice I didn’t mention salt in that list. That’s because my recipe is delicious without adding salt thanks to new Knorr Zero Salt Bouillon. It’s my trick to adding rich flavor to my recipes without the worry of salt.

New Knorr Zero Salt Bouillon proves that zero salt does NOT mean zero flavor! Made with an expert blend of natural chicken flavor, vegetables and spices, this chicken bouillon gives you all the flavor with none of the salt. This powder bouillon is made with real vegetables, herbs and spices, like carrots, onion and parsley, and is made with absolutely no artificial flavors or preservatives.
