Creamy Butter Baked Chicken Recipe - The Cookie Rookie® (2024)

FAQs

Can I use milk instead of cream in butter chicken? ›

I wanted to create a slightly healthier version that still tasted like an authentic butter chicken recipe. First, this recipe only uses 2 tablespoons of butter and a can of evaporated milk instead of heavy cream. You can also use coconut milk, but it will give it a slightly coconut flavor.

It's full of garlic, butter, seasoning, and most importantly, heavy cream. — The mix-ins. We added cherry tomatoes and spinach to our skillet (like we do in most of our Tuscan-inspired recipes), but you can add even more additions if you have them on hand, or swap out the cherry tomatoes for sun-dried tomatoes.

Tuscan chicken is made of seared chicken breasts, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and garlic in a parmesan cream sauce.

When the tomato has reduced and looks thick, add the ground cashew mix and the lemon/lime juice and colouring (if using). Stir until the gravy/sauce becomes thick and smooth.

Ingredients You'll Need

Yogurt – Plain yogurt or sour cream will work. Spices – I used a blend of Ground Coriander, Cumin, Smoked Paprika, Turmeric and Garam Masala (For information on garam masala, keep scrolling!)

Is Heavy Cream the Same as Heavy Whipping Cream? Yes, heavy cream and heavy whipping cream are the exact same thing. The confusion lies in the fact that they're sold by different brands under two different names.

Alfredo Sauce: Alfredo is a rich, creamy white sauce mixed with butter and grated Parmesan cheese seasoned with pepper, and sometimes nutmeg. Alfredo sauce is typically served on fettuccine noodles and topped with vegetables, chicken or shrimp.

It starts with butter, garlic, and tomato paste which creates a flavorful base. From there, we add tomato sauce and chicken broth/bouillon, which adds even more flavor. Half and half (half milk/half cream), turns that beautiful red sauce into a classic pink sauce.

This Creamy Tuscan Chicken pairs well with so many different side dishes. It's delicious with mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a side salad. It's also great served over ½ cup or so of pasta or rice mixed in with the sauce and sun-dried tomatoes.

Garlic, olive oil, artichoke hearts, grilled chicken, feta cheese and black olives all topped with cheese blend.

What is Nixon chicken? ›

"Nixon's Chicken. You heat the oven at 425F, brown some boneless chicken, put it in an 8x12 casserole dish. Add broccoli, a can of cream of mushroom soup, a sprinkle of cheese over the top...cheese of your choice...myself I prefer a nice soft cheddar, and then bake for 35 minutes"

Older animals have a fat layer under their skin, giving the flesh added protection from the gases. Older poultry may be pink in spots where fat is absent from the skin. Also, nitrates and nitrites, which are often used as preservatives or may occur naturally in the feed or water supply used, can cause a pink color.

You don't have to dash out to the store if you're out of tomato paste; tomato sauce and tomato puree are both an excellent substitute. For every 1 tablespoon of tomato paste needed, use 3 tablespoons of tomato puree or sauce.

Recipe Notes

We love the flavor the coconut milk gives this sauce, but it can easily be replaced with heavy cream.

Similarly to half-and-half, milk makes a good heavy cream substitute when it's combined with melted butter. Combine 3/4 cup milk and 1/4 cup melted butter for every cup of heavy cream.

You can simply use yogurt, cream, cashew paste or any other milk to thicken your curry. These are easily available in most households, and I think they're much more versatile than coconut milk.

To replace 1 cup (237 mL) of heavy cream in your recipe, add 2 tablespoons (19 grams) of cornstarch to 1 cup (237 mL) of milk and stir, allowing the mixture to thicken. You can use whole milk or opt for skim milk to help slash the calories and fat content of your recipe.
