Note
Extra Tips: For best results, marinate chicken for up to 4 hours in advance.
Stir the butter chicken sauce halfway through cooking if possible.
Let the rice rest for 5 minutes after cooking before fluffing with a fork.
If sauce is too thick, add warm water or cream to achieve desired consistency.
Garnish with fresh coriander and a drizzle of cream before serving.
