Description

A rich and creamy keto-friendly butter chicken that is simple to prepare and full of flavor.


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

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden-brown. Set aside.
  2. Melt the butter in the same skillet to create a base for the sauce.
  3. Stir in the tomato puree and kasuri methi, then add water to thin the sauce. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Lower the heat and gently stir in the heavy cream to create a smooth sauce.
  5. Return the seared chicken to the sauce and simmer on low heat for another 1–2 minutes.

Notes

For added flavor, marinate the chicken overnight or experiment with add-ins like spices or vegetables during cooking.
