But an immersion blender can also work and it is the easier option; this works best with a deeper pot like a Dutch oven or the Instant Pot. If you\u2019re using an immersion blender, tilt the pot to one side to pool all the sauce together before using. If you\u2019re getting splatters, you might need to add an extra bit of water to make sure there\u2019s enough volume of sauce to run it through the immersion blender smoothly. I would not recommend using an immersion blender in a shallow skillet where it will splatter over the sides \u2013 in that case, best to transfer to a blender!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Instant Pot instructions:<\/strong> Add all sauce ingredients; cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. Use an immersion blender directly in the Instant Pot to make it smooth; add meatballs and turn it to warm or saut\u00e9 until heated through (this takes 5-10 minutes). Finish by stirring in the cream and butter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Instant Pot instructions with regular chicken:<\/strong> If you\u2019re using just regular chicken breasts or thighs instead of meatballs, add the chicken to the Instant Pot right at the beginning of cooking with the sauce. Cook on high pressure for 12 minutes, then remove and shred or pull apart the chicken. Meanwhile, blend sauce, and then add chicken back in with the cream and butter. We do it this way quite a bit as well!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tasty-recipes-other-details\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"secondary-color.background-color\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"prep-time\"><span class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-label-color.color\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" class=\"detail-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"icon-color.color\"><use xlink:href=\"#tasty-recipes-icon-clock\"\/><\/svg>Prep Time:<\/span> <span data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-value-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-prep-time\">5 minutes<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"cook-time\"><span class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-label-color.color\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" class=\"detail-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"icon-color.color\"><use xlink:href=\"#tasty-recipes-icon-clock\"\/><\/svg>Cook Time:<\/span> <span data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-value-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-cook-time\">15 minutes<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"category\"><span class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-label-color.color\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" class=\"detail-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"icon-color.color\"><use xlink:href=\"#tasty-recipes-icon-folder\"\/><\/svg>Category:<\/span> <span data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-value-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-category\">Dinner<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"method\"><span class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-label-color.color\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" class=\"detail-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"icon-color.color\"><use xlink:href=\"#tasty-recipes-icon-squares\"\/><\/svg>Method:<\/span> <span data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-value-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-method\">Instant Pot<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"cuisine\"><span class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-label-color.color\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" class=\"detail-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"icon-color.color\"><use xlink:href=\"#tasty-recipes-icon-flag\"\/><\/svg>Cuisine:<\/span> <span data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-value-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-cuisine\">Indian-Inspired<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><iframe title=\"nutritional information\" id=\"nutrifox-label-182002\" src=\"https:\/\/nutrifox.com\/embed\/label\/182002\" style=\"width:100%;border-width:0;\"><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<div class=\"tasty-recipes-keywords\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"secondary-color.background-color\">\n<p data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-value-color.color\"><span class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-label-color.color\">Keywords:<\/span> butter chicken, butter chicken meatballs, Indian recipes, quick and easy dinner, dinner recipe<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tasty-recipes-plug\">Recipe Card powered by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wptasty.com\/tasty-recipes?utm_source=pinchofyum&utm_medium=attribution\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-pin-nopin=\"nopin\" nopin=\"nopin\" alt=\"Tasty Recipes logo\" height=\"31\" width=\"150\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/wp-content\/assets\/images\/tasty-recipes.svg\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" data-pin-description=\"These butter chicken meatballs are covered in a rich and mildly spiced tomato gravy that is made luxurious with just a little bit of butter and cream.

It\u2019s an Indian dish that is traditionally called Murgh Makhani, normally involving marinated chicken that is then cooked in a clay oven. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m taking a slightly different approach here \u2013 meatballs instead of chicken! No marinating, no clay oven, but the butter sauce in this recipe meant to be a fast and easy take on the classic that everybody loves. <\/p>\n<p>I have made the <a href=\"https:\/\/twosleevers.com\/instant-pot-butter-chicken\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Butter Chicken<\/a> from Two Sleevers plenty of times (remember our \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/we-tried-10-of-the-internets-best-instant-pot-recipes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">best of the internet Instant Pot recipes<\/a>\u201d post?) so this version is a play on that! I reduced the overall sauce amount so it\u2019s not a double batch, and used store bought garam masala instead of making my own with whole spices, and discovered along the way that we actually really loved this with meatballs!<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-making-this-dairy-free\">Making This Dairy Free<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Subs for the butter:<\/strong> I think using dairy free butter would be awesome and an easy swap for the butter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Subs for the cream:<\/strong> A knob of dairy free cream cheese melted in there would be perfect! Another idea: when you blend the sauce, add a handful of cashews (assuming you have a high powered blender) and you\u2019d get a creamy, totally dairy free sauce. Method would be similar to <a href=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/creamy-red-pepper-pasta-blistered-tomatoes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this recipe<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-other-proteins-that-would-be-good-here\">Other Proteins That Would Be Good Here<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Chicken:<\/strong> Obviously just regular chicken breasts, or chicken thighs, are the traditional protein and they work great \u2013 I use them both from time to time! If you do use regular chicken breasts or thighs, I\u2019d recommend trying to find a texture that is somewhere between shredded and chopped. Roughly pulled chunks is what I like best! If you\u2019re making this in the Instant Pot, I would just throw the chicken right in as the sauce cooks! 10 minutes for smallish chicken breasts, 12-14 for chicken thighs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meatless:<\/strong> This would be delicious with a cubed block of paneer. I just saw one at Costco this morning so that is fresh on my mind. YUM. You could fry up the paneer first and then get it all up in the sauce? Mmmm. Similarly \u2013 baked crispy tofu would be amazing! Here\u2019s our guide for <a href=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/how-to-cook-tofu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">how to cook tofu<\/a> with instructions for my favorite tofu method (the \u201cbaked crispy\u201d one).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meatless Meatballs:<\/strong> And let us not forget about the ALDI frozen meatless meatballs which are so fabulous and would just pop right into the sauce for a perfect meatless meal.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-how-to-get-more-veggies-in\">How To Get More Veggies In<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Peppers:<\/strong> This would be more like a tikka masala, but you could saut\u00e9 or roast some bell peppers and throw them in with the sauce and the chicken! Yum. I would not recommend putting them right into the Instant Pot because they might overcook and get mushy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cucumber Salad: <\/strong>No cooking required. Toss sliced cucumbers with a tiny splash of vinegar, olive oil, salt, and sugar. Throw some herbs in if you want. The end!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Simple Green Salad:<\/strong> My go-to for adding greens to a meal (especially in an SOS fashion) is this <a href=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/simple-green-salad\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">simple green salad<\/a>. There\u2019s a homemade balsamic maple dressing here, but I\u2019ve also used store bought dressings \u2013 Trader Joe\u2019s maple vinaigrette is fantastic. Throw some nuts and dried fruit on top and my whole family will get into this big time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Roasted Veggies: <\/strong>Little more work required for this, but roasting up some broccoli or cauliflower in the oven while everything cooks up in the Instant Pot would be an easy, delicious idea too!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"faq-heading\">Butter Chicken Meatballs: Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\">\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1680197043919\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can this recipe be made vegetarian?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes!

For our <a href=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/best-anytime-baked-chicken-meatballs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Baked Chicken Meatballs<\/a>, you can sub in some almond flour or GF breadcrumbs. Or, you can pivot to chicken breasts instead and eliminate the gluten entirely.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1680197221280\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is this butter chicken spicy?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">As-is, not at all! But if you\u2019re looking for some spice, I\u2019d recommend some cayenne or crushed red pepper flakes to increase the heat.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1680197600127\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can this recipe be made with chicken breasts instead of meatballs?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yep! If you\u2019re making this in the Instant Pot, I would just throw the chicken right in as the sauce cooks! 10 minutes for smallish chicken breasts, 12-14 for chicken thighs. Then pull them out to chop or shred before you blend the sauce up, and then add the chicken back in after.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Other Favorite Weeknight Meatball Recipes<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/butter-chicken-meatballs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These butter chicken meatballs are covered in a rich and mildly spiced tomato gravy that is made luxurious with just a little bit of butter and cream.
