Another super easy weeknight meal. This is Keto friendly to the max! My husband started keto before I did and this was a weekly staple. It got to the point, where I would beg him to tell me something different to make each week.
You can eat this recipe with naan, rice, quinoa, cous cous, even salad and it’s absolutely delicious.
The most important tip I will give you all when it comes to making butter chicken is to use boneless legs and thighs and not breast. Breast is drier and it makes the butter chicken taste completely different.
