A rich, creamy twist on a Filipino classic—Butter Chicken Afritada marries buttery Indian flavors with the components of afritada. Pairs perfectly with either rice or naan bread.
Butter Chicken Afritada is what happens when two comfort food icons from opposite sides of the world meet and hit it off. It’s a fusion of Indian Butter Chicken and Filipino Afritada, using ingredients that are easy to find in the Philippines.
The structure stays true to afritada—bone-in chicken, potatoes, carrots, and bell peppers—but the sauce borrows from butter chicken. Butter and all-purpose cream soften the acidity of the tomatoes and tomato paste, while paprika adds a warm, slightly smoky note.
Serve it over rice or naan bread and let the sauce soak in.
