Keto Slow Cooker Tandoori Chicken

Tandoori chicken is delicious roasted chicken dish created in India but immensely popular all over the world. If you enjoy classic Indian dishes, such as butter chicken, this will be your next favorite Indian keto recipe to try. What makes tandoori chicken so irresistible? It’s marinated in a blend of spices and creamy yogurt for hours before slow-cooking to perfection and a traditional tandoor clay oven. The good news is the spices utilized in this recipe are very easy to find in a grocery store. If you can’t get your hands on garam masala, you can create your own blend using coriander, cumin, cardamom, nutmeg, and a few other pantry staple spices. The even better news is your slow cooker or crock pot can cook the chicken just like a tandoor oven would! After you taste the depth of flavor in this recipe, you’ll never look at your typical marinated roasted chicken the same way again.
