Description
A deliciously creamy and rich keto butter chicken made with just five ingredients, perfect for a cozy meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 450 grams Boneless & Skinless Chicken Thighs
- 15 grams Butter
- 1 tsp Kasuri Methi (Dried Fenugreek Leaves)
- 150 ml Tomato Puree
- 100 ml Heavy Cream
- 1 Tbsp Avocado Oil
- 50 ml Water
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season the Chicken: Generously sprinkle salt and pepper on the chicken thighs, ensuring even seasoning.
- Heat the Skillet: Place a skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle in the avocado oil. Watch it shimmer, a sign it’s ready.
- Sear the Chicken: Carefully place the seasoned chicken in the skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, achieving a delightful golden crust. Once cooked through, transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
- Melt the Butter: In the same skillet, add the butter, allowing it to melt and froth, releasing a luscious aroma.
- Add the Tomato Puree: Stir in the tomato puree, then sprinkle in the kasuri methi and pour in the water. Cover the pan and let it simmer for about five minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Incorporate the Cream: Lower the heat, then gently stir in the heavy cream until the sauce is luxuriously smooth and all ingredients coalesce.
- Return the Chicken: Place the seared chicken back into the sauce, letting it simmer on low heat for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring the chicken absorbs all the flavors.
- Serve Hot: Serve your creamy, dreamy butter chicken hot, paired with keto-friendly cauliflower rice or fluffy keto naan for a truly satisfying meal.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for best flavor. Avoid overcrowding the skillet to achieve a golden crust.
