Yen Can Cook: Butter Sauce Chicken
I have half tin of evaporated milk sitting in my fridge for quite sometimes. So I start searching for recipes which I can use it up before its expiry date and I’ve found this ~ Butter Sauce Chicken. The butter sauce tasted fantastic, creamy, rich and savory, it is very versatile to works perfectly with all kind of protein such as chicken, fish, prawns or pork. I pair it with boneless chicken cube which is easier to be consumed by Sam as well as for my lazy hubby. (He don’t like chicken with bones =.=”)
Ingredients
2 boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite size
2 cloves of garlic, minced
50g butter
80g evaporated milk
2 sprigs of curry leaves
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Dash of pepper & salt
2 bird eye chili (I omitted)
Cooking oil
Marinade
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 egg, slightly beaten
1.5 tablespoons of cornstarch
Dash of pepper
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Step 1: Marinade the chicken cubes with the marinade for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2: Deep fried chicken till golden brown, set aside.
Step 3: Heat oil in a work, saute garlic, curry leaves and bird eye chili. Add in butter then evaporated milk. Bring to boil and thicken.
Step 4: Add in chicken cubes (Step 2)
Step 5: Season with salt, pepper and sugar. Serve.
HAPPY COOKING!
Err no thanks, the word “butter” sounds jelak
You don’t drink the sauce mah…. =.=”
Must eat hot I guess. Butter once cooled will be not nice right?
Ya, after it get cold will be slightly cloying 😛
This looks nice and I would love the buttery taste. Who said jelak??
I wanna laugh to hear your hubby doesn’t even like chicken with bones. He can eat squid.
LOLOL
He doesn’t like squid either, so hard to please right =.=”
Need beer to go with!
I think dry version will be better, this one got sauce, a bit “leceh” to eat for drinking session 😛
Anything to deal with chicken – I’m lovin’ it. I’m also very lazy one – just love boneless chicken especially the breast part.
Aiyo, chicken breast not nice to eat lah >_<
the dish looks beautiful … i bet this recipe would also go well with squid! 🙂
I wanna try it with squid too but unfortunately both daughter and hubby not fan of it. Maybe fish fillets?
I like your chicken props la. So cute.Oo…with a duck too.
Bought from Taobao, I got elephant, piggie and others 😛
Same, same….my son also doesn’t eat chicken with bones!
So you only cook chicken breast at home? ^__^
You have unused evaporated milk?
That would never happen with me. Haha. I can just drink it like that, or dilute it with a bit of water. I like drinking it straight from the can though – very creamy and wonderful stuff.
I guess butter sauce chicken is good too! I like the style you make, there’s a restaurant back home that does it like you do too, but they use prawns. I think prawns will go well with your recipe too.
Do you mean evaporated milk or condensed milk? I never heard people drink diluted evaporated milk like that, but yes for condensed milk. Actually those poor people used to dilute the condensed milk and feed their baby as milk powder was too expensive for them…
