Easy Keto Butter Chicken Recipe
Ingredients:
– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 2 tbsp ghee or butter
– 1 medium onion, finely chopped
– 3 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
– 1 can (14 oz) of diced tomatoes
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 1/4 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
– 2 tsp garam masala
– 1 tsp ground turmeric
– 1 tsp ground cumin
– 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions:
1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the ghee or butter. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring constantly for another minute until fragrant.
3. Stir in the diced tomatoes, garam masala, turmeric, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Cook the mixture for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
4. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir well to coat the chicken pieces with the fragrant tomato sauce. Let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
5. Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the heavy cream and Greek yogurt. Simmer the mixture for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the creamy sauce to thicken slightly.
6. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. If you prefer a spicier dish, you can add more cayenne pepper at this stage.
7. Once the chicken is cooked to perfection and the sauce has thickened, remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
