Directions
At Home Prep:
- Add the marinade ingredients into a bowl with the chicken and mix until everything is well combined. Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight.
- Grate the garlic and ginger and store them in an airtight container (or silicone baggie) in the fridge.
- Chop the red pepper, onion, and jalapeño and store them in an airtight container (or silicone baggie) in the fridge.
- The next day, precook the chicken by searing both sides on a piping hot grill. Don’t worry about cooking the chicken all the way through because the chicken will finish cooking at camp.
- Allow the chicken to completely cool before storing it in a freezer bag, in the freezer.
At Camp Cooking:
- Start off by building a fire.
- Preheat a cast iron skillet on a grill grate over the fire then add 1-2 tablespoons of ghee. Once the ghee is melted, add the pre-chopped red pepper, onion, jalapeño and a pinch of salt and pepper. Sweat the vegetables, stirring frequently until they begin to soften.
- When the vegetables are soft, add in the pre-grated ginger and garlic. Stir the ingredients for roughly 30 seconds, then add the pre-cooked chicken, followed by the can of diced tomatoes. Simmer the ingredients until the chicken is cooked through which will take maybe 10-20 minutes, depending on how hot your fire is.
- The final step is to add a glob of coconut cream. After each glob taste the dish until you reach the sweetness you desire. During this time toast the Naan over the grill grate.
- Once the Campfire Butter Chicken is finished cooking top with cilantro.
- Scoop up the Butter chicken straight form the cast iron with your Stonefire Naan for less cleanup after!
