Butter Chicken and all it’s versions are always received well. If you’ve been following my posts and my channel, you will know that I love making my Butter Chicken from scratch. I like to grill my chicken, blanche and puree fresh tomatoes, blend my spices and finish it off with some luxurious cream. A weeknight meal though is a whole other story. I burst into my home exhausted with the dark cloud of prepping dinner on my mind. Almost immediately the family asks ‘What’s for Dinner?” and if I haven’t had the time to meal prep, I’m in a lot of trouble.

 

Over time, I’ve learned how to use pantry staples creatively to create shortcuts to great meals. This recipe is a testament to that! I always have canned soup in my pantry, they’re not just great when you want to make a soup but you can also use this to prepare other meals. In this recipe, I’m going to use the CAMPBELL’S® Roasted Red Pepper & Tomato to substitute the pureed Tomatoes and the CAMPBELL’S® No Salt Added Cream of Chicken to substitute the cream. This delicious Butter Chicken is then going to be tossed together with Scoobi doo or Cavatappi noodles, smothered in cheese and baked.

 

This is a hearty recipe that is delicious for adults and kids alike. If you have kids that are afraid to try new things, this is a great way to introduce them to new flavors.
