Healthy Butter Chicken

Butter Chicky with an upgrade. This recipe has the addition of red lentils for some plant protein goodness. I highly recommend adding in some seasonal veg like broccoli, cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, whatever you please and have on hand.
Feel free to double this recipe, it tastes even better the next day.


This recipe is in collaboration with Butcher Crowd
featuring their Free-Range Chicken Breast.
