How can a dish with only 6 ingredients taste SO good? Think crispy, juicy, moist, tender and incredibly tasty Butter Chicken.
Hello friends! I’m back today with a Famous Butter Chicken recipe, you can throw these together and have them in the oven in less than 10 minutes.
It all started when I was making my meal menu/grocery list for the week, I have a set of “go-to” meals that could be made quickly with minimum effort and planning, but there I was… stuck!
It was definitely a sick day!
Hopefully, chicken is a wonderful starting point for all kinds of easy meals, in addition of ritz crackers, eggs and butter, simplicity never tasted so good.
With 5 minutes of prep time and around 40 minutes of baking time – wonderful crispy chicken was ready. It’s totally true and totally amazing, I’ve been staring at serving plate for 10 minutes, all googly-eyed and unsure of what to say, Impressive and expeditious are two adjectives which come to mind when describing these crispy, tender Butter Chicken served with a simple side salad or a favorite veggie.
Don’t let the limited number of ingredients fool you, I know you’ll absolutely love this Famous Butter Chicken.

Very simple and delicious! My whole family loves it and it’s very hard to find recipes they all like. Thanks!
Really easy to make and delicious!
Very good. Thank you for sharing.
Oh my goodness. I never comment on anything, anywhere but I just wanted to say thank you for this recipe. I am VERY much a beginner cook, 37 years old and ashamed to say I’ve never cooked because my husband enjoys it so much that I’ve never had to. But my New Years Resolution this year was to learn. I found your recipe and tried it this evening. I am in shock. And so proud. It’s so easy and delicious. And my husband is quite impressed, too. I can already tell this meal will be making many reappearances on our dinner menus. Thanks!
Was a complete hit in my house tonight ! Even my daughter who is who is very picky and eats little meat devoured. Not the healthiest, but for a treat enjoyed it so much!!
I tried this recipe, but instead of regular Ritz crackers, I used the “Everything” flavor and didn’t add any seasoning to it because those already have a lot of flavor. It was SO good!!! Give it a try!
