This high-protein, low-calorie butter chicken is a flavorful twist on the classic Indian favorite, reimagined for a health-conscious lifestyle. Using lean chicken breast and non-fat Greek yogurt, it delivers rich, creamy flavor without the excess fat. The marinated chicken is infused with garlic, ginger, and bold spices, then simmered in a velvety tomato-yogurt sauce that’s both warming and satisfying. Perfect for meal prep or a hearty weeknight dinner, each serving is loaded with over 50 grams of protein and just 320 calories. You’ll never believe healthy could taste this indulgent. Best served with a side of rice, naan, or a light salad to complete the meal. Whether you're cutting or simply eating clean, this dish will earn a spot in your regular rotation. Don’t forget a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for that perfect finish!
