Homemade Butter Chicken Sauce

Rich, creamy, and oh so flavourful. This butter chicken recipe is made with antioxidant rich spices that are known for cleansing and detoxifying the body as well as several other health benefits that I’ll mention below.

It also involves a heaping amount of broccoli — a nutritious cruciferous vegetable — and dairy free coconut milk.

There are no added sugars. If you wish to add sweetness to your sauce, you can try adding a tablespoon of a 0-calorie natural sweetener like Stevia, Erythritol, or Monk Fruit. 

Most importantly, before you make this recipe, take a trip to the grocery store and buy some fresh ginger and turmeric. Here’s why:

Health Benefits of Ginger

I included fresh, grated ginger, known to speed up weight loss among many other health benefits — see this fat burning green smoothie recipe made with ginger. You could also use organic ground ginger as well.

Here are the health benefits of ginger:

  • Improves digestion for increased metabolic rate and cleansing
  • Reduces nausea
  • Relieves cold and flu symptoms, and pain
  • An anti-inflammatory and lowers risk of cancer
  • Fights against heart disease and lowers cholesterol and blood sugar levels
  • Reduces menstrual symptoms
  • Fights off bacteria and prevents infections
  • Improves brain function, memory, and mood

Health Benefits of Turmeric

This butter chicken also has turmeric — also a superfood aiding in weight loss, weight management, all while fighting off free radicals in the body.

Similarly to ginger, turmeric is a strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant that has been used as a natural medicine for thousands of years.

Here are the health benefits of turmeric:

  • A powerful anti-inflammatory to fight chronic diseases
  • Promotes youthfulness and boosts metabolism
  • Improves memory and brain function
  • Lowers risk of brain diseases/mental illness (treats depression)
  • Lowers risk of heart disease, prevents cancer, and regulates blood sugar
  • Used as an anti-aging supplement
  • Improves symptoms of arthritis

Butter Chicken That The Kids Will Eat

If you stick to the recipe, the spices will be very mild thanks to the ratio of coconut milk. You are welcome to add more cumin for extra spice! 

Be sure to introduce these spices into your child’s diet at a young age so that they develop a taste for it later on in life. Ginger and turmeric are powerful antioxidants and are essential for the maintenance of good health without the need for pharmaceuticals.

Butter Chicken With Cauliflower Rice

Cauliflower rice is a huge staple for our family lately. If you can find a bag of it already shredded in the frozen section of your grocery store, that’s a huge win! Nobody has time for a food processor anymore.

Why swap rice for cauliflower rice? Cauliflower is another cruciferous vegetable with a ton of nutritional benefits along with the broccoli in this recipe. This dish is literally packed full of wholesome goodness that your family will enjoy and benefit from extraordinarily. 

How to Cook Cauliflower Rice

It really doesn’t taste any different! If you fry up a bag of frozen cauliflower rice with some olive oil, you get that same consistency as fried rice (we love Chinese food, too!)

Keep the lid off when cooking from frozen, so that the moisture cooks off.

You’ll only need to fry it up for about 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly. Or, you could bake it in the oven at 400 degrees, covered, for about 10 minutes.

Healthy Slow Cooker Butter Chicken

You’re probably wondering if the butter chicken turns out when made in a slow cooker. My answer is YES! You will get perfectly tender, pull apart chicken every time. You don’t have to worry about the chicken being undercooked because low and slow is the way to go!

Slow cooking the butter chicken sauce gets you that rich, creamy texture that you dream of. Just remember, the broccoli goes in at the last five minutes of cooking, to keep them al dente. 

This recipe has got to be our family’s favourite Indian dish to make! The kids love it and we have no regrets after eating it, with all of its nutritional benefits.

Make the cauliflower rice to go with it for you and your hubby, and go ahead and steam some long grain rice for the kids if you wish! I’d love to see how yours turns out.

Life lately 🤍 It seems as though the years have Life lately 🤍 It seems as though the years have gone by and the girls have changed so much, so very different in their own unique way, growing and blossoming faster than ever. All I had to do was blink and all of a sudden I have a 9 year old wiser than her years, an 8 year old who says it like it is, and an almost 2 year old who doesn’t miss a beat. 

“Let me love you a little more before you’re not little anymore.” This couldn’t be a more truer feeling for us moms raising older children.

I will never stop loving you. A mother gives and gives, loves and loves with no cap, no end, no limit. When life gets tough, always know that I will forever be here for you, loving you and supporting you every step of the way.

Cold and flu season is here! Here are 5 Reasons Wh Cold and flu season is here! Here are 5 Reasons Why You Need a Honeywell True HEPA Air Purifier in Your Home 💨

1. Indoor air can be more polluted than outdoor air with allergens trapped inside. Using an air purifier can help ensure the air inside our homes is fresher and cleaner!

2. It helps reduce airborne allergens like dust mite debris in the bedroom and pet dander. This can help reduce a variety of symptoms you may be having.

3. Helps reduce odours (mom win for any lingering dirty diapers sitting in the trash) keeping air smelling fresher.

4. Set the timer and forget it! This is my favourite feature because I’m just so busy and would forget to shut it off when not needed.

5. Cleaner air, feel better, live better, sleep better. Need I say more?!
