WHO ARE THE ORGANIC BUTCHERY
Starting life as an organic farm in the heart of the West Country, The Organic Butchery is proudly founded on a long history of organic principles. We source the best quality organic grass-fed and wild meats, sustainable fish and organic free-range poultry from trusted local suppliers and like-minded brands to guarantee the highest standards of animal welfare and environmental stewardship. Our mission is to approach butchery with a whole-carcass perspective, to make the most of every animal that crosses our blocks, which means we offer you cuts that you will never see on the supermarket shelves.
WHAT IS ORGANIC CHICKEN?
Our chickens are 100% organic, they have room to roam, a naturally foraged balanced diet, clean water and high hygiene standards. The chickens are grown slowly for approximately 70 days not 35 like those reared in intensive systems. Full of flavour and oh-so tender, it’s a versatile meat that is full of goodness.
Ingredients
- 800g organic chicken breast
- 2 large brown onions, sliced
- 500ml plain yoghurt
- 200ml double cream
- 2tbsp ground turmeric
- 2tbsp garam masala
- 1tbsp mild chilli powder
- 4 garlic cloves, grated
- 2tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 6 cardamon pods
- 100g almonds
- 2tbsp ghee
- rice (to serve)
Method
- Lay the chicken breasts on a flat surface and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Transfer the meat into a bowl and cover with 250g yoghurt, turmeric, chilli powder, garam masala, garlic and ginger. Combine the ingredients together and let the chicken marinate for around 1 hour (overnight for best results)
- To make the sauce, slice the onions and add them to a frying pan with some ghee. Allow the onions to soften before adding the cardamon pods and almonds. When the pods become fragrant, remove the pan from the heat and let the onions cool. Transfer the onions, almonds, cardamom pods and 250ml yoghurt to a food processor and blitz until smooth. Reserve until you are ready to cook (can be stored in the fridge for a few days)
- Remove the chicken from the fridge and bring it to room temperature. Place a frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tbsp of ghee before adding the chicken. Brown the chicken all over before adding the sauce and cream. Mix everything together and gently simmer for 30 minutes
- Serve hot and garnish with fresh coriander

Frequently asked questions
-
In the UK, we now eat more chicken than any other meat. Which means the production of chicken has become more and more industrialised to keep up with demand. We rear our chickens in a free-range, organic environment and to the highest welfare standards. That means the birds have the freedom to roam outdoors during the day, with the shelter and safety of houses at night and in bad weather. We source our chicks from an organic breeding flock meaning they are certified from birth.
-
When choosing any meat to purchase, it is worth carrying out some research. There are a number of studies that suggest organic chicken is a healthier option, containing less saturated fat and higher in omega- 3 fatty acids, which are good for your heart. There are also several other reasons why choosing organic chicken is a good idea. They range from the contribution of organic farming to climate change, animal welfare and the use of pesticides and medicines used in the farming of conventional chickens, organic birds are only given antibiotics if absolutely necessary, rather than routinely, as they are in lower welfare systems to prevent spread of disease.
-
Organic chicken has been reared in accordance to a set of organic high-welfare standards. These organic standards cover not just the bird’s housing, the amount of space they have and the way they are treated, but also what they are fed, how they are transported and eventually slaughtered. Under the current Soil Association standards, chicks can be taken from a conventional system providing they are less than 3 years old and reared organically to 70 days. Our trusted local suppliers provide a natural environment for our birds to thrive without the need for preventative medication: room to roam, a naturally foraged balanced diet, clean water and high hygiene standards.
