You can cook this chicken in microwave and stove top both. I made it in microwave. You don’t need to fry or saute the spices or chicken at all. Just marinate the chicken and cook. Even no oil or butter required to make it. Easy isn’t it? If you want your chicken spicy add more green chilli or if you are making for kids reduce the amount of green chilli.

This is the kind of chicken my son would love to make quick and easy. As for me I would love to replace the chicken with paneer and would have to cook on the stove top as I don’t have a microwave oven.
Thank you so much Mayuri. Yes you can also make it on stove top. Paneer, tofu or mushroom will goes well with this masala paste.
I read the title and ingredients twice, no oil chicken. Amazing. Generally in all chicken or rather non veg dishes oil is added so much. I am loving this recipe and surely trying for my family
