The Creamiest Keto Butter Chicken You Will Try!

Posted by thecasualketochef on

Aromatic, Tasty and Easy. There is a plethora of superlatives and adjectives which I could select to describe this phenomenal dish. But I’ll go with those 3 as I think they sum it up simply and elegantly.

If you’re looking for a simple Keto dish to impress someone or if you are feeling experimental and want to try your hand and cooking this authentic Indian dish than I cannot recommend Butter Chicken more!

It’s creamy, buttery and so splendidly smooth. Serve with Cauliflower Rice as they go hand in hand together.

As you know, I like to keep things simple, easy and Casual here at the Casual Keto Club but if you frequent the more extravagant side of the kitchen, try making Cloud Bread Naans to mop up the remaining sauce on your plate J
