5 Ingredient Keto Butter Chicken
This keto butter chicken is rich, creamy, and incredibly easy to make. It uses just a handful of ingredients while still delivering the classic flavors of butter chicken.
Ingredients
- 1.3 lb Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs
- 1 ½ tbsp Butter
- ¾ cup Tomato Puree
- ½ cup Heavy Cream
- ¼ cup Water
- 1 ⅓ tbsp Avocado Oil
- 1 ¼ tsp Kasuri Methi dried fenugreek leaves
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season the chopped chicken evenly with salt and black pepper.
- Heat the avocado oil in a large pan over medium- high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same pan. Once melted, add the tomato purée and stir until smooth.
- Add the kasuri methi and water, mix well, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. The oil should begin to separate slightly from the sauce.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream until fully emulsified.
- Return the chicken to the pan and cook gently for about 1 minute, just until heated through.
- Remove from the heat and serve.
