Tender and juicy chicken thanks to a deliciously spiced yogurt marinade, Butter Chicken is ridiculously easy to make. The curry sauce is out of this world!
As someone who loves food with big, BIG flavors, it’s no surprise that Indian is one of my favorites foods! But of course I LOVE EASY RECIPES…. and who doesn’t love 30 minute meals.
This easy dish is not a keto recipe, is a traditional Eastern favorite, that happens to be ketogenic and low carb naturally.
EASY PREPARATION STEPS:
• First, mix your yogurt marinade together.
• Marinate chicken for 20 minutes, or overnight if time allows. (The longer it marinates, the more tender your chicken will be.)
• Sear chicken in a skillet or pan. Keep those charred bits on the pan to make your sauce. Browned bits = flavor.
• Finally, make your curry sauce in the same skillet
