Ingredients:
2 servings:
- Chicken: 2 chicken breasts, diced
- Rice: Basmati rice (150g)
- Garlic Puree: 2 tsp
- Red Onion: 1, finely chopped
- Red Chili: 1, finely chopped
- Tomato Puree: 2 tbsp
- Sour Cream: 50g
- Chicken Stock Paste: 1 tbsp
- Mustard Seeds: 1 tsp
- Green Beans: 150g, trimmed
- Cooking Cream: 50ml
- Butter: 20g
- Olive Oil, Salt, Pepper
- Paprika, Sugar: As needed for seasoning
Instructions:
- Cook the Garlic Rice:
- Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Add the basmati rice with a pinch of salt and cook according to package instructions. When the rice is almost done, stir in 1 tsp of garlic puree and a dab of butter for that aromatic lift.
- Prepare the Green Beans:
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and let them pop for a minute. Add the green beans and sauté until they are brightly colored and tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Make the Butter Chicken Sauce:
- In the same pan, add a bit more oil and sauté the chopped onions, red chili, and remaining garlic puree until softened. Stir in the tomato puree, a dash of paprika, and a bit of sugar to balance the acidity. Pour in the cooking cream and add the chicken stock paste, blending everything into a smooth sauce.
- Cook the Chicken:
- In another pan, melt some butter over medium heat and add the diced chicken. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and cooked through.
- Combine Chicken and Sauce:
- Once the chicken is cooked, pour the prepared sauce over it, mixing well to coat. Simmer for a few more minutes until everything is piping hot and the flavours meld.
- Serve:
- Spoon the garlic rice onto plates, top with the butter chicken, and align the mustard seed green beans alongside. Dollop some sour cream over the chicken for a creamy finish.
