    Recipe Information

    This recipe, the best keto butter chicken recipe, is easy enough to make on a weeknight, but we like to save it for the weekend. This not because the steps are difficult or long, but because it tastes so good, it could almost be takeout!

    Only very simple ingredients are needed and these are all things you can buy at the local store. To start, you’ll need some chicken breast, which is the most common section of the chicken used in curry dishes. For the mouth-watering sauce, you’ll need some butter, heavy whipping cream and tomato paste. Any tomato paste will do, but be careful not to use one that contains a lot of sugar. These will only add calories you don’t need.

    The only veggie used is an onion, but this really helps bring together the rest of the flavors. These include garlic, turmeric, ground ginger, chili powder, cinnamon and salt to season. But don’t worry readers, there’s no need to go out and buy a pestle and mortar! You can find all these spices ground and in a jar, so it really is very easy to just shake or pour these in.

    THANK YOU so much for these recipes! I so appreciate it. I am really challenged when it comes finding out servings and calories. I am SO happy you have the calories listed, thank you so much! When you have a chance, could you clarify if the ENTIRE meal is 385 calories and 6 grams of carbs? Are the calories for each recipe you have the entire recipe? I didn’t see serving size. This is so helpful, can’t say how much I appreciate it. 🙂

    The Keto Butter Chicken is now a family favorite. I have mine on riced cauliflower and the rest have it on rice. A real winner and so easy!
