Easy Butter-Chicken Casserole image

This warmly spiced, but not spicy, twist on an Indian restaurant favorite is packed with flavor and has the perfect contrast of bright tomato and rich butter, for a well-balanced and not-at-all-boring chicken dinner. So, it might surprise you that all this is possible with kitchen staples and minimal effort. That's right: You can create complex Indian flavors with some powerful aromatics-onion, garlic, ginger-and a couple of standard spices. Once you've got your ingredients perfectly seasoned, all that's left is to dump the ingredients in your casserole dish and pop it in the oven!

This recipe is a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I added more vegetables and used a different type of cheese. It turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly, but the sauce turned out too thin. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still good. I'll try it again with less chili powder next time.

Not bad! The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was flavorful. I'll try it again with some modifications.
