Butter Chicken with Pilau Rice

What is it?

Chargrilled tikka-marinated chicken breast sits in a creamy tomato sauce, with pilau rice alongside. It's packed as a frozen meal for the microwave or oven, so the rice and sauce heat from frozen in one tray. Compared with other frozen curries in the range, this one leans on chicken breast rather than mixed pieces, and the sauce is tomato-led rather than heavily spiced. Rice usually comes with peas and whole spices, adding colour and a mild aromatic note to the grain base. Butter-style sauce means the tomato carries a slight richness without the heavy cream you'd find in a restaurant version. Cooking time is around eight to ten minutes in the microwave, making it one of the quicker frozen meals to prepare.
