Shortcut Butter Chicken with Tomato Soup
Looking for a fast, flavorful way to turn chicken into something special? Inspired by the classic curry dish, our Shortcut Butter Chicken tastes as rich as its name, but is ready in just 40 minutes, thanks to Tomato Soup. The soup gives the meal’s lightly spicy, tomato-based sauce its silky, creamy texture, so it perfectly coats the chicken and cauliflower florets. Want to make this recipe even faster? Use a rotisserie chicken. Just don’t forget to serve it with jasmine rice or naan—you’ll want something to soak up every last drop of that delicious sauce.
