Hope your good man!! You mentioned a while back about mental struggles so thought I would just check in as a random stranger that cares and ser your doing ok. Love the channel, keep up the good work and take care of/love yourself yourself mate!!
I've just got to say, your recipes and thoughoutly explained instructions have seriously helped me with my meal prepping, I'm able to easily follow these instructions and often deviate and add my own little twists, spins or add a few extra different ingredients. These have seriously helped me with my bulking and daily food intake needs! Thank you so much Mr Chef Jack Ovens!
that looks absolutely phenomenal. Definitely going to introduce this to my my meal preps for the week. Keep up the good work mate, been here from the start!
These are perfect! My husband just started going back to the gym and needs high protein meals. I’m so happy you’ve made the video so short and the recipe so easy. The result is 👌🏽🙌🏽 Likes and subscribers well-deserved
tip for spices in the rice....smaller spices that are hard to find and fish out, like cardamon, cloves, fenugreek etc.... those small stainless mesh balls that you can pick up in any supermarket for infusing tea are awesome. put the smaller spices in that, and pop that in your rice. Then you can get them all out easily once cooked. nothing worse that eating nicely infuse rice and then accidently biting down on a clove lol.😝
Another great recipe Jack! As a suggestion to others seeing this, you can also add cashew nuts while making the sauce. It gives the sauce a richer taste!
Great looking recipe! Without sounding too presumptuous, I'd cook the chicken in batches to get a nice sear or lay them flat on a sheet tray and broil. They'll finish cooking in the sauce.
Love the channel, I made your cajun pasta the other day it was delicious, I like a little more spice in my Indian food, would appreciate it if you could do a vindaloo one of my all time favourites, but keep up the good work 👍 enjoy watching all your stuff looking forward to your next video
Oh, man. I messed up this dish a couple different ways (homemade ghee not dark, used nonfat yogurt, didn't blend nearly smooth enough) -- and it still came out unbelievably delicious, even with the low-fat presentation. Bravo, jack!
My recipe turned out exactly like the picture. Tastes great too. Thanks, Chef. (Though my wife was a bit upset that I did my meal prep in the middle of the night while everyone was asleep)
Thighs are 100x better, but I can't get them skin & boneless at my stores or butcher shops for some reason. And butchering 12-14 thighs for one meal prep round takes so much time
@@whoru2376 if you throw away the skin from the thighs it'll nearly half the calories! Boneless skinless thighs are neeeeeeeearly the same calories as chicken breast and they're way harder to overcook and dry out. Definitely taste better when reheated too!
Was able to make this as a fully dairy free version using plant based heavy cream, adding some ACV to the marinade portion to make it more of a tangy yogurt, and using nutiva butter oil in place of the ghee. It tastes fantastic and is now one of my favorite dishes to make every couple weeks.
One thing I did which upped the protein content was adding split red lentils. I eyeballed it to where it looked like the sauce was full of red lentils, and when blended it's virtually identical. I think more liquid is needed but the flavor is unchanged It really helps if you're like me and can eat a surprising volume of butter chicken, it becomes significantly more filling Though I don't exactly know if it can be called authentic like that
So I finally got around to trying this and fantastic, I have a question on rice of all things. It always comes out really sticky, I follow the timings to the second. Am I missing something?
Hey mate, thank you for this video. Cannot wait to try this out!! Quick question, what if i dont have a blender :( P.s i tried your tandoori chicken recipe and it is the goods!!! Much love from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Hey! If you don’t have a blender you can leave it chunky. It obviously won’t be a smooth texture but it will still be delicious 👌 Glad you enjoyed the tandoori chicken. 🙏
Thanks for another great recipe! With your meal prep recipes is it possible to use chicken breast instead of thigh? Would that change the steps much? Thank you!
Add the chicken-breast pieces to the sauce later, so they don't overcook. Ten minutes of simmering before serving, instead of 35-40? Also, I think then you call it 'chicken tikka masala'.
i made this today. and it was delicious. however im gonna say the amount of sauce i got with this recipe was a lot. compared to the amount of rice and chicken atleast. i'd say you could easily double the amount of rice in this recipe
Hi Jack, love your videos. How is your chicken always so nice and dry when cooking? Mine is basically boiling in juices! Any tips or tricks? I’m using an induction stove top…
You need a hot pan to sear the chicken rather than boiling it. When the pan isn’t hot enough and the chicken is added it will cool the pan too much to the point it won’t heat back up properly depending on the power of your burner
@@ChefJackOvens great, thanks Jack! I’ll turn the heat up next time :) Also, any chance you can do a peanut satay on rice? My local Thai restaurant does the most amazing peanut satay and I’d love to know how to make it at home! Your recipes always come out so well
No plastic so better for the environment and they’re able to be vacuum sealed which increases food quality when storing and the food lasting a day or two more
May i ask why u used greek yoghurt instead of heavy cream? Is the reason for this to make the recipe healthier? Btw i loveee ur videos it helps me so much with meal prepping and learning to cook😂
The reason being is the recipes optimised for meal prep. I have the authentic version on the channel as well which uses cream. Cream definitely gives it a better flavour. Thank you so much
@@ChefJackOvens but can i also meal prep the cream version? , i already madr this one yesterdsy and it was amazing, and i am wondering, does the cream version has wayyy more calories??
? This is a thing? I'm not familiar with this one. I'm over 50 but I only found out because my son suddenly announced he was making it, and I had some. I thought it was just chicken fried/grilled in butter and was greeted with this. Basically, I'm here for research. Possibly go out and try to find some in one of the Indian shops nearby. Maybe I'll try making some after. Thanks for the reduced fat recipe, Chef.
I'd personally rather have a little extra fat to keep the authentic flavour of butter chicken. This looks like a yummy curry with the yogurt, but to me not really butter chicken. Between 5 servings, a cup of cream really isn't all that much. Love yourselves guys haha
Pat fry the chicken before cooking and make sure you’re not washing it before hand. Also make sure the pan is really hot to allow it to sear instead of boil 🙏 hope that helps
You've got gram measurements for everything ... _except_ 0:30 "six cloves of freshly-peeled garlic". About the same as the 30 grams of ginger? If I don't have clarified butter, what happens if I use regular butter? Cook it longer to evaporate the water? Or use oil, coconut fat, or chicken fat?
Hope your good man!! You mentioned a while back about mental struggles so thought I would just check in as a random stranger that cares and ser your doing ok. Love the channel, keep up the good work and take care of/love yourself yourself mate!!
Really appreciate that mate, thank you 🙏 I’m doing great and keeping myself busy with all this. Hope you’re doing well too mate 🙏🙌
What a lovely thing to do
Love to see men supporting other men in the mental health area. Nice one 👍

2 for 2 on meal prep videos that I've watched and copied so far to great results. This is starting to turn into a recurring pattern and I'm loving it
Thanks for splatering things around, that felt like real kitchen time for me. keep up the good work!

These types of spices are fine, they’ll rise to the top during the cooking process. If you’re concerned about this though, what you suggested is great
Very tempting recipe! Your Cajun chicken is already in my meal prep selection 😍 🤤 awesome one
Yes yes yes yessssss thank you so much I’ve been wanting to make butter chicken for the first time lately. Now I will 🎉
Another great recipe Jack! As a suggestion to others seeing this, you can also add cashew nuts while making the sauce. It gives the sauce a richer taste!
Definitely!
Dude. I’m Indian, but I don’t know how to make butter chicken. I combined your recipe with another creator and OHMYGOD! ITS DELICIOUS. THANK YOU.
Great recipe! Definitely trying this one
That was fantastic... The butter chicken and the rice. I really want to compliment the rice prep enough... Amazing.
Wow....you made it so easy... everything in one pot....and delicious 😋 Thank you Chef Jack 😊
Always a pleasure smita! Thank you 🙏
You have a real talent for bringing out the best in every ingredient👏👏👏 Have a nice day🌹🌹🌹
Very good idea for weekdays!
I am 150% making this for meal prep next week. THANK YOU! looks delcious haha and its perfectly 5 servings for the week for me
Great to hear! Please enjoy it
Wow looking absolutely yummy delicious I'm definitely going to try this thanks for caring and sharing God bless you ❤
I tried this recipe and had to substitute a few ingredients but it was so good!!! Thank you for sharing! I have made this three times since!
Great looking recipe! Without sounding too presumptuous, I'd cook the chicken in batches to get a nice sear or lay them flat on a sheet tray and broil. They'll finish cooking in the sauce.
Yummy Chef Jack as always love yr receipes. No bs just a good bloody good cook
❤Great meal prep idea
Thanks Jack. I always use Greek yoghurt instead of cream in dishes. If it has to be cream, I use soy cooking cream. 👍🏻
Big thanks for this recipe it’s hubby and sons fav but I spend a fortune on the frozen stuff
That looks so good, and bonus that it's all in 1 pot too! Thank you Jack :)
It’s a pleasure! Thank you 🙏
Fantastic
hey man, just made this recipe... tasted aweeeesssoommeee... i added extra chillies for heat... thanxs
Great to see an alternative to cream in this go-to recipe Jack! Right up my street. Sounds and looks amazing. Cheers from AKL.
Cream is definitely needed for this recipe to achieve the full flavour but it’s still delicious with the yogurt just doesn’t quite taste the same
you are a life saver these vids help uni steudnts (food-wise)
Glad to help 🙌
Love the channel, I made your cajun pasta the other day it was delicious, I like a little more spice in my Indian food, would appreciate it if you could do a vindaloo one of my all time favourites, but keep up the good work 👍 enjoy watching all your stuff looking forward to your next video
Garamond masala is an aromatic to always add that in the oil with onions for good flavor release
I made your Sweet and Sour for this week now I can’t wait for next week!
Fantastic! Please enjoy
looks amazing, gonna try it!
Please do
Thank you thank you thank you!
Happy to help!
Great recipe, Jack!
Thanks mate!
I will try this one out today for sure, thank you❤
Please do!
Oh, man. I messed up this dish a couple different ways (homemade ghee not dark, used nonfat yogurt, didn't blend nearly smooth enough) -- and it still came out unbelievably delicious, even with the low-fat presentation. Bravo, jack!
That’s awesome! Glad you still enjoyed it
Wow! 😋
Definatley going to try this one!! Thank you!! Where did you get the knife stands from? I love that setup!
Looks so delicious! Will have to try this next week as I am already prepped for this week 😅
Please do
@@ChefJackOvens It surely was worth the try! Very beautiful dish
Simply the best
❤️
You star‼️🙏 thanks Jack!!
It’s a pleasure
Easily best and easiest to follow recipes on RUclips.
Chef Jack you’re the man 👍🏼
Really appreciate that! Thank you 🙏
와...보기만 해도 군침이도네❤
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
ok yesterday was so tasty got my sub will try this out too
Hi Jack
Thanks for the amazing recipies. What pan is this?
My recipe turned out exactly like the picture. Tastes great too. Thanks, Chef.
(Though my wife was a bit upset that I did my meal prep in the middle of the night while everyone was asleep)
meal prepping in the middle of the night while everyone is asleep does hit different tho.
Hey Jack just a tip, crush the Kasoori Methi/Dried Fenugreek to release it's flavour before adding in!
Hmmmmm, love butter chicken. Thanks Jack. X
You can’t go wrong! I definitely suggest using the cream for a full flavoured dish
Keep going your videos are really helpful ❤❤
Thank you 🙏
Of course I love the recepes I just need to have the initiative for a tasty alternative to the carbs in the rice. Maybe a flavoursom cauliflower rice.
FAB !!
Thank you 🙏
You're a cool guy, Jack
Your stove is so clean, wow! I forgot to write down your instructions!
The recipe is written in the description 🙌
looks like I will have to buy some new spices the next time I am in the supermarket.
You Tube won't let me add a like but this looks delicious.
That’s strange! Thank you 🙏
I’m going to have to try this recipe. I see it all over my RUclips! I’ve also recently started using thighs bud.
Awesome! Please enjoy it. It’s delicious
Thighs are 100x better, but I can't get them skin & boneless at my stores or butcher shops for some reason. And butchering 12-14 thighs for one meal prep round takes so much time
@@geminireviews 100x better but are a lot more calorie dense so if looking to lose weight perhaps stick to breast
@@whoru2376 if you throw away the skin from the thighs it'll nearly half the calories! Boneless skinless thighs are neeeeeeeearly the same calories as chicken breast and they're way harder to overcook and dry out. Definitely taste better when reheated too!
@@joconnell Thanks, I didn't realise it was the skin that added all that extra!
Was able to make this as a fully dairy free version using plant based heavy cream, adding some ACV to the marinade portion to make it more of a tangy yogurt, and using nutiva butter oil in place of the ghee. It tastes fantastic and is now one of my favorite dishes to make every couple weeks.
Nice dish chef
Thanks David!
An idea: Thinking you should drop us a lower carb Peanut Butter Chicken and broccoli, rice meal prep. Yummm
Love your pronunciation of Garam masala 😅
One thing I did which upped the protein content was adding split red lentils. I eyeballed it to where it looked like the sauce was full of red lentils, and when blended it's virtually identical. I think more liquid is needed but the flavor is unchanged
It really helps if you're like me and can eat a surprising volume of butter chicken, it becomes significantly more filling
Though I don't exactly know if it can be called authentic like that
Very nice. Glad you made it your own. It’s good to hear
I'm waiting for you to cook Indonesian beef rendang
It’s coming!
So I finally got around to trying this and fantastic, I have a question on rice of all things. It always comes out really sticky, I follow the timings to the second. Am I missing something?
Where can I get that exact pan? p.s love the videos
Made this today! Thank you! Where did you get this pot from?
Hope you enjoyed it. The pot is essteele per vita
Hey mate, thank you for this video. Cannot wait to try this out!! Quick question, what if i dont have a blender :(
P.s i tried your tandoori chicken recipe and it is the goods!!! Much love from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Hey! If you don’t have a blender you can leave it chunky. It obviously won’t be a smooth texture but it will still be delicious 👌 Glad you enjoyed the tandoori chicken. 🙏
@@ChefJackOvens Thanks Jack! Looking forward to trying it this weekend!!
Also any chance you can share where you get your pans from?
Thanks for another great recipe! With your meal prep recipes is it possible to use chicken breast instead of thigh? Would that change the steps much? Thank you!
Add the chicken-breast pieces to the sauce later, so they don't overcook. Ten minutes of simmering before serving, instead of 35-40? Also, I think then you call it 'chicken tikka masala'.
As bill suggested, don’t sear the chicken at all. Add it into the sauce for the final 12 minutes of cooking.
He wasn't joking about not blending while hot btw guys 😅
i made this today. and it was delicious. however im gonna say the amount of sauce i got with this recipe was a lot. compared to the amount of rice and chicken atleast. i'd say you could easily double the amount of rice in this recipe
Thanks Chef. Where do you get those glass containers? They look so lightweight
Thank you 🙏 they’re from luvele. I have a link in the description of the video 🙌
Hi Jack, love your videos. How is your chicken always so nice and dry when cooking? Mine is basically boiling in juices! Any tips or tricks? I’m using an induction stove top…

Also, any chance you can do a peanut satay on rice? My local Thai restaurant does the most amazing peanut satay and I’d love to know how to make it at home! Your recipes always come out so well
Full Fat or reduced fat coconut cream from Aldi works like a charm in this recipe, if you aren't counting your calories, go for it!
which basmati do you use ?
How long would this last if kept in a freezer?
1:43 what pan are you using ??
Caribbean puerto rican style
cant I use cream cheese instead of cream, i add it to creamy pasta dishes as an alternative and it really helps get that smoothy creamy sauce
Always crush dried fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi) before adding to a dish.
Hey Jack what's the benefit of those containers over normal ones?
No plastic so better for the environment and they’re able to be vacuum sealed which increases food quality when storing and the food lasting a day or two more
for anyone who don't have access to ghee, u can use regular butter, with 2 spoons of peanut butter to give it that nutty flavor that ghee gives.
Please don’t but peanut butter in butter chicken. You can make your own ghee by melting butter until the milk solids separate then drain it off.
Hi Chef, is there a reason you bring the rice to a boil without the lid on, and only place the lid on once you reduce the heat?
Hey. It’s to achieve the perfect steam and water evaporation. The rice will be over cooked if you place the lid on straight away
Hey jack, can i use normal clarified butter instead of Ghee? I want to cook this today, but i dont have any ghee sadly.
Yes definitely 🙏
I always wondered why any kind of stock or wine is not used to deglaze the pan in indian cooking?
May i ask why u used greek yoghurt instead of heavy cream? Is the reason for this to make the recipe healthier?
Btw i loveee ur videos it helps me so much with meal prepping and learning to cook😂
The reason being is the recipes optimised for meal prep. I have the authentic version on the channel as well which uses cream. Cream definitely gives it a better flavour. Thank you so much
@@ChefJackOvens but can i also meal prep the cream version? , i already madr this one yesterdsy and it was amazing, and i am wondering, does the cream version has wayyy more calories??
@tedybear2613 the cream version is higher in fat and calories but can definitely be meal prepped
how much fat greek yogurt has? 0% or 5%? cuz the only i found nearby is from FAGE and has different choices...thank you for your delicious recipe!!!!!
? This is a thing? I'm not familiar with this one. I'm over 50 but I only found out because my son suddenly announced he was making it, and I had some. I thought it was just chicken fried/grilled in butter and was greeted with this. Basically, I'm here for research. Possibly go out and try to find some in one of the Indian shops nearby. Maybe I'll try making some after. Thanks for the reduced fat recipe, Chef.
What are the tiny bowls he uses to hold the seasoning?
I got them from Woolworths In Australia
What size are the meal prep containers you use?
They’re 750ml
I'd personally rather have a little extra fat to keep the authentic flavour of butter chicken. This looks like a yummy curry with the yogurt, but to me not really butter chicken. Between 5 servings, a cup of cream really isn't all that much. Love yourselves guys haha
Can I replace the greek yoghurt with Skyr?
Skyr yogurt yes 🙌
do people actually cook like this? make the same recipe 5 days a week and store it? Incredible
You don’t eat them everyday
👍🏻
🙌🙌
Chef, question.. everytime i cook chicken in the pan, it always releases alot of moisture and doesn’t cook the way I want it to, any tips??
Pat fry the chicken before cooking and make sure you’re not washing it before hand. Also make sure the pan is really hot to allow it to sear instead of boil 🙏 hope that helps
You don't need to put that much of garam masala that many times one time for marinate and one for curry that's more than enough
what size are those pots you use
They’re 750ml 🙌
You've got gram measurements for everything ... _except_ 0:30 "six cloves of freshly-peeled garlic". About the same as the 30 grams of ginger?
If I don't have clarified butter, what happens if I use regular butter? Cook it longer to evaporate the water? Or use oil, coconut fat, or chicken fat?
Cloves of garlic don’t need weighing. You’ll need to cook the butter separately then remove the solids from the butter to create clarified butter
Basmati rice is not compulsory if anyone having difficulty finding it then use any white rice try sela or basmati if possible
👍🏽❤️
I don’t mind the prep time, the methods. But I stay away from curries as it makes my house smell, and that smell just does not go away.
