Being an Indian guy, this keto diet butter chicken is in my all-time best dinner recipe because whenever I make it for my family they just love it, especially the creamy sauce.

What Cut of Chicken To Use?

I always recommend using chicken thigh meat, use any cut of the chicken but don’t use chicken breasts because they dry out pretty quickly and you will not get that juicy chicken pieces.

What To Do With The Leftovers?

Simply pack them airtight containers and keep it in the fridge for upto 3-4 days and you are good to go!

When ready to heat, reheat them gently, covered, to avoid drying out or reheat in the microwave on 50% power.

What To Serve With This Keto Low Carb Butter Chicken?

I usually served it over a bed of cauliflower rice, keto naan bread, with a side of a green vegetable, roasted veggies like broccoli or zucchini.

• Add the chicken back to the pot and heat through.
• Done! Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve over cauliflower rice.

Keto Butter Chicken Slow Cooker
