Juicy, spiced chicken meatballs simmered in a rich, creamy butter chicken sauce — this keto twist on a classic Indian favorite is bold, comforting, and low in carbs. Perfect over cauliflower rice or on its own, these meatballs bring all the flavor without the carb load.
Make Meatballs: Mix ground chicken, onion, pork panko, egg, garam masala, salt, and pepper. Form into meatballs.
Cook Meatballs: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear meatballs until browned and cooked through (about 5–7 mins). Set aside.
Make Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter. Sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant. Stir in tomato purée, paste, spices, and broth. Simmer for 10 mins.
Finish with Cream: Stir in heavy cream and simmer until sauce thickens slightly.
Combine: Add meatballs back into sauce, coat well, and simmer 5 more minutes.
Garnish & Serve: Top with fresh cilantro or parsley. Enjoy over cauliflower rice or alone!
