Butter Chicken is the commonly used name for the original Punjabi dish murgh makhani. I'm putting my spin on it to save time by using frozen prepared garlic and ginger pods from the supermarket.

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon turmeric
1 tablespoon garam masala
1 tablespoon hot Hungarian paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken tenders, cut into 1-inch sections
4 tablespoons salted butter
1 cup crushed tomatoes
1 teaspoon sugar
2 frozen ginger pods (or 2 inches ginger, grated)
2 frozen garlic pods (or 2 cloves garlic, grated)
3/4 to 1 cup heavy cream, at room temperature
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more to garnish
2 cups cooked basmati rice

Steps:

  • For the marinade: In a bowl, add the yogurt, chili powder, cumin, turmeric, garam masala, paprika, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Stir until everything is one color. Scoop into a large resealable bag and add the chicken. Leave on the counter at room temperature for 2 hours.
  • To cook the chicken: In a large pan with straight sides on medium-high heat, add the butter and then the chicken chunks from the bag, discarding the marinade. Cook, turning, until some parts are browned but most are still white, about 8 minutes.
  • For the sauce. Add the crushed tomatoes, sugar, ginger and garlic to the pan. Things should be bubbly and hot. Stir to marry everything and when the pan smells like garlic and ginger, add the heavy cream and stir again until everything is the same color. Partially cover and simmer on low for 20 minutes.
  • For serving: Stir in the cilantro and serve over rice with another sprinkle of cilantro.

SUNNY'S QUICK SIZZLIN CHICKEN FAJITAS

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 pounds chicken breast strips
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons ancho chile powder
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
One 14-ounce bag frozen peppers and onions blend, defrosted
Zest of 1 lime
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 ounces pilsner beer
Warm flour tortillas
Sliced avocado
Lime wedges
Fresh cilantro leaves
Salsa verde and rojo
Chopped fresh tomato
Shredded cheese blend

Steps:

  • For the chicken: In a large resealable plastic bag, add the chicken, olive oil, lime juice, chile powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Seal, squish around a bit to mix and leave at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  • For the veggies: In a large bowl, combine the peppers and onions blend and lime zest. Season with salt and pepper, toss together and set aside.
  • On a large, seasoned cast-iron griddle on medium-high heat, add the chicken right from the marinade and spread it out so it doesn't steam; you may have to cook it in batches. Cook until the chicken is light golden and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Once a batch is finished, try to pile it on a cool area of the griddle until you finish the rest or pile in a bowl. Once done with the chicken, cook the veggies the same way.
  • Pile the chicken and veggies back onto the griddle and gently spritz and sprinkle just enough beer to allow the griddle to steam a bit while tossing the chicken and veggies together just to warm through. Drink the rest of the beer. Serve with the fixins: tortillas, avocado, lime wedges, cilantro, salsa, chopped tomatoes and shredded cheese.

Tips:

  • For an authentic cheesesteak, use a quality hoagie roll. Amoroso rolls are a popular choice in Philadelphia, but any soft and chewy roll will do.
  • Slice the meat thinly against the grain. This will help it cook evenly and make it easier to bite into.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the meat. This will prevent it from cooking evenly and becoming tough.
  • Season the meat liberally with salt and pepper. This will help to bring out the flavor.
  • Use a good quality cheese that melts well. Provolone, American, and Cheez Whiz are all popular choices.
  • Add your favorite toppings. Some popular options include grilled onions, peppers, mushrooms, and ketchup.

Conclusion:

Sunny's Quick Chicken Cheesesteak is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. With its tender chicken, melted cheese, and flavorful toppings, it's sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're in a hurry, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
