Butter Chicken Tuckerbag

Description

The Butter Chicken Tuckerbag is a ready-to-cook meal that wraps tender, hormone and chemical free chicken in a rich, authentically spiced butter chicken marinade, all encased in golden, flaky puff pastry. Topped with a decorative frangipani pastry finish, it looks as good as it tastes and requires almost no effort — just pop it in the oven straight from the fridge or freezer.

Inside the pastry, the chicken is coated in a creamy, aromatic blend of Indian spices including tomato, garlic, ginger, and onion, creating the familiar butter chicken flavour profile that has made this dish a favourite in Australian households. The marinade is generous without being heavy, letting the quality of the chicken come through while delivering that comforting, mildly spiced warmth that defines a good butter chicken.

This tuckerbag is designed for busy weeknights, lazy weekends, or any time you want a satisfying meal without the prep work. Serve it with steamed rice and naan bread for a complete dinner, or cut it into slices as a party snack. Cook from frozen or fresh in a pre-heated 180-degree oven for approximately 35 minutes and you have a golden, flaky, flavour-packed meal ready to go.
