Butter Chicken with Yogurt Marinade and Cashew Tomato Sauce
Recipe by wannabechefmatt
A richer, creamier take on classic chicken and rice. Chicken thighs are marinated in Greek yogurt, ginger, garlic, and warm Indian spices, then seared and finished in a silky cashew‑tomato sauce. Served over fragrant jasmine or basmati rice and finished with a drizzle of heavy cream and fresh parsley.
