The thing about the Indian butter chicken recipe sauce is that it is made by layering components and flavors. It starts with the marinade with spices and sour cream or greek yogurt, and then you add aromatics like garlic and ginger, and of course some tomatoes.
Butter Chicken or Indian Butter Chicken is relatively easy to make. The key to making it low carb is to get sweetness from something other than carbohydrate full sugars. So, instead of adding a sweetener or a sugar substitute, I decided to add onions, and let them cook and caramelize so the natural sweetness and sugars get a chance to really shine.
Heat a third of the butter over medium-high heat in a large frying pan. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade), and fry in the butter for 5 minutes. Pour the marinade over the chicken and add the rest of the butter. Let simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked. Salt to taste.
