        Loved this. Served over cauliflower rice with a keto tortilla (instead of naan). Will definitely serve again.

          I used the heavy cream suggestion and made a double batch. I found adding red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper really enhances the flavor. This is also so easy to make.

            Would sour cream work as a replacement for the yogurt?

              I used half sour cream and half heavy cream as a substitute.

            I made this and it was delicious! I used heavy cream instead of yogurt and used drumsticks instead of chicken breast. Will definitely make this again!

                  I omitted the yogurt and added 1/2 cup heavy cream. Also, added 1/2 Tbs red crushed peppers because we love spicy things. Delish!

                  This was absolutely delicious! I followed the recipe pretty closely with the exception that I used some heavy cream at the end instead of yogurt and also added some cayenne pepper since I love things spicy. Served over cauliflower rice. This recipe is an absolute keeper!
