This keto-friendly version of Chicken Tikka Masala is packed with flavor and low in carbs.
Ingredients
Cauliflower rice - 4 cups, cooked
Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
Heavy cream - 1/2 cup
Tomato sauce - 1 cup
Ginger - 1-inch piece, grated
Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
Onion - 1, finely chopped
Butter - 2 tablespoons
Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
Cayenne pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
Turmeric - 1/2 teaspoon
Ground coriander - 1 teaspoon
Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
Garam masala - 1 tablespoon
Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
Greek yogurt - 1/2 cup
Chicken breasts - 2, boneless and skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces
Instructions
In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garam masala, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, cayenne pepper, and salt. Mix well.
Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss to coat them in the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight in the refrigerator for more flavor.
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook until it is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Pour in the tomato sauce and heavy cream. Stir well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors have melded together.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve the Keto Chicken Tikka Masala over cauliflower rice.
