keto butter chicken Ingredients
– Chicken breast: Chicken breast cube into small bite pieces.
– Yogurt: I prefer greek yogurt because it has a thicker consistency and adds a nice tangy flavor to balance out the sweetness in this dish.
– Garlic: Fresh crushed or minced garlic will work fine. I prefer to crush the garlic in this chicken recipe because it distributes more evenly throughout the dish.
– Ginger: Fresh ginger minced or grated.
– Tomato puree: I use canned tomato puree, but if you want you can also puree your own fresh tomatoes in a blender for this recipe.
– Garam masala: Garam masala is an Indian spice blend. It can be found in most supermarkets or specialty stores.
– Butter: I use salted butter, but you can also use unsalted if that’s what you have on hand.
– Onion: Finely diced onion. You can use any onion you have available to you.
– Cumin: Ground cumin gives this dish a nice earthy flavor.
– Turmeric: I use turmeric to give the dish a nice color, but it’s not essential.
– Paprika: Paprika gives the dish a nice smoky flavor.
– Heavy cream: Adds a richness to the dish and makes the sauce creamier.
– Fresh cilantro: Cilantro gives the dish a nice freshness.
– Salt and pepper: As always, I prefer sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper in my dishes.
This is the perfect recipe to make extra for meal prep later in the week.
The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the sauce is tangy and creamy.
It’s just the perfect medley of flavors.
The best part is how easy it is to make all in one pan!
This is the type of recipe that the longer it seats in the fridge the better it tastes.
Note 1: You can use chicken thighs instead of chicken breast.
Note 2: For extra flavor you can marinate the chicken overnight or for 8-12 hours rather than 1 hour.
