Notes

If you don't have chicken breasts, you can also use boneless, skinless chicken thighs to make this keto chicken curry.

If you want to make it in the instant pot, try this instant pot chicken curry instead.

Add a teaspoon of tomato paste if you want to thicken the curry sauce without a thickener.

If you don't like spicy food, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper in this dish or leave it out completely.

You can add your favorite low-carb vegetables, such as spinach, cauliflower, or broccoli.
