Low Carb Slow-Cooker Butter Chicken
Slow-cooker meals are great for planning ahead, especially while on a low-carb diet which involves a lot of protein. This meal is one of my favorites because I love Indian food. This is a mild version, but feel free to add slices of jalapenos to the pot!

There’s no way these nutritional facts are correct? Meals ok I recommend using more seasoning than what the recipe calls for. I don’t trust the nutritional facts so I won’t be making it again.

What makes the Carb count so high? Would like to reduce that so I can add some veg.

Made this yesterday. Doubled the garam Masala (added the second half at the end, added black cardamom and cayenne. Still, well, a very “white” and bland curry. I’ll go back to tweaking my Indian recipes and won’t be making this again.

Made this today. Absolutely delicious but I made a few changes that don’t change nutrition values. Doubled Garam masala, added cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and cayenne. Also added lime zest and the juice of the entire lime. Half the juice at the beginning and the other half near the end of cooking. Served with cauliflower rice and a low carb tortilla to take the place of naan, which is how it is served in restaurants.

Tried making this in a wok opposed to a slow cooker and it is so much nicer imo. we did everything the same except we browned much smaller cubes of chicken and added the liquids/onion/spice mix.... we found the slow cooker was overcooked, this method was juicy and far tastier and ready to eat in less than 30 minutes

I am questioning the nutritional info for keto diet 2. I noticed that the calories are double what I’m supposed to eat each day. The first week was close. Now this second week is all above what I Shld eat and I clicked adjust to my macros. Anyone else question week 2.

Is this really 108 g of protein?
Ems 4 years ago
It is because the portion of chicken per serve is quite large. 340 grams per person. I’d only eat a 200 gram piece tops.

I made this exactly as stated in the recipe. It has delicious flavors and is a great way to keep meal time interesting. Will make again. It is also good over steamed broccoli!

I loved this, but I added spices that were listed on the side of a box of ready make butter masala I picked up from a Pakistani restaurant/store in town when I got the masala. Made from recipe 1st, then started adding stuff listed on the box under ingredients, like cardamon, cumin, red chili, white and black pepper, and a few others. Took it from ok but plain to amazing and just like the Indian place in town. :)

Is the nutritional info correct? Why is the protein & carb count so high?
jenn128andersonf01a 4 years ago
I have the same question, this is more protein than I’m supposed to have all day. I googled how many grams of protein in 3/4 cups of diced chicken breasts and it said it’s only 30. I’m confused.
Shaay 4 years ago
Because a serving is 3/4 pound of chicken breast (105g protein) and the garlic, ginger, and onions all contribute carbs

Was Delicious although I did change the Garam Masala seasoning to Tony Chacheres Creole seasoning.
