    So easy to make and it just melts in your mouth. Pair it up with basmati rice and some naan. It's a winner!

    For some reason, Sara's recipes don't usually turn out for me (my fault, not hers, but this is probably one of the best recipes of the hundreds I've tried off of the Food Network. I served it with brown basamati rice and homemade chappatis. My seven-year-old ate two servings and a good portion of a third. After he finished his first plateful, he excused himself, went into the kitchen and brought back spoons so we could get all the sauce off our plates and not waste a drop. I had made the dish several hours earlier and reheated it in the microwave when it was time to eat. I was afraid that the reheating would toughen the chicken, but it was still like butter. The sauce was a little bit thinner due to the lid being on the casserole, but that was probably a good thing as it was incredibly rich. Thank you Sara!!!

    This butter chicken earned rave reviews from my family and boyfriend- a much better recipe than ones I've tried before- it's very authentic tasting.

    This was amazingly quick to make. I did not use the peas but added a pack of frozen spinach (cooked in the microwave to the pot before serving. A hot hearty meal with no effort.

    This was a simple recipe that turned out pretty well. I found it needed more garam masala and adjusted the seasoning accordingly. My boyfriend came home starving and could smell it cooking as he walked up the stairs, he said he hoped the smell was coming from our kitchen (so it must have smelled great.

    Let me give credit where credit is due: this is a wonderful dish! It is absolutely delicious. Even the use of rotisserie chicken, which I thought might lessen the quality of flavor, lent itself well to the dish.

    I do agree with those who say the dish might be a little heavy on the tomato flavor. I'm not quite sure how to compensate. Maybe it's because I used half and half instead of the heavy whipping cream? Other than that, a delight for the taste buds.

    Note: I served a Shiraz with this dish, which complemented the spice nicely.

    This is one of the easiest, quickest AND better tasting Indian dishes.
    I like that this dish was not made with heavy amounts of cream, and the tomato sauce gives it a wonderful flavor as well as a healthier twist. We love it. Made twice already. Follow directions on this on to the T - for best results!
