Buttery/Garlicky Sauce for Chicken?

[Shazbutt]

Hi gals,

I was just wondering if any of you know a good sauce for chicken breats..preferably not tomato-ey or mushroom-ey, and i like the thought of garlic & butter (have tried just that, and the taste was nice, just a bit too buttery). I love the chicken done in those Breville Healthsmart grills, sooo noice, but a bit bland....

I am picky i know...DH would like a mushroom sauce, but i HATE them and hate tomato ones too. Any help would be great! Thanks in advance...

Try cream garlic salt and pepper
......so simple but so YUMMO!

Have you looked at the packet sauces in the supermarket? Some of them sound really yummy...unfortunatly my DH is a fussy eater when it comes to that sort of thing so I haven't tried any of them.

I haven't actually looked at them...guess i should, it'd save me making it from scratch and stuffing it up (I'm not the best cook in the world...) Thanks!

try making a rissotto with the chicken, its yummy and the kids love it. you can add anything you want then. I add diced pumpkin, chicken, peas, carrots, garlic and anything else you have inthe fridge. I actually leave out the butter and oil and just spray the pan with prespray and just keep an eye on it so it dosent stick. replace the wine with water. hope I have helped.

Have you tried Sharwoods Butter chicken or the Korma is really good too. I find it a bit strong on its own so I add a little cream and its soooo yummy (not too good on the hips tough so its a once a month treat!!)

Thanks heaps Jasminemum! I love the sound of the butter chicken - might even give it a go next time I have friends over for dinner!
