- 3.5 grams of cannabutter
- 1.5 lbs boneless chicken thighs, cubed
- 1/2 cup full-fat plain yogurt
- 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons regular butter
- 1 tablespoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- Marinate chicken in yogurt, garam masala, and turmeric for at least 20 minutes.
- Heat regular butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt cannabutter over medium heat. Sauté garlic and ginger for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add crushed tomatoes and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in heavy cream and return chicken to the skillet. Simmer on low for 15 minutes until chicken is cooked through and sauce has thickened.
- Serve over cauliflower rice for a keto-friendly meal. Divide into equal portions for consistent dosing.
Dosing Tips for Your Cannabis Keto Butter Chicken
- Fat-heavy keto meals absorb THC efficiently. Start with 5-7 mg per serving until you know how savory keto edibles affect you.
- Measure cannabutter precisely for each portion rather than adding it to the entire batch, especially for plated meals.
- Compound cannabis butters with herbs make dosing savory keto dishes elegant and precise. One pat equals one dose.
- Track your total fat intake including the cannabis fat within your daily keto macros to stay in ketosis.
- Cannabutter is used to sauté the aromatics, infusing the entire tomato cream sauce with an even dose.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- High-heat cooking methods like broiling or deep frying destroy THC. Add cannabis fat as a finishing element at the table.
- Adding cannabis fat to dishes that already have maximum fat content creates an unpalatably greasy texture. Balance your fats.
- Assuming all fats are equal for keto. Cannabis butter has trace carbs from milk solids; cannabis MCT oil has zero.
- Not seasoning aggressively enough. Keto savory dishes need bold flavors to mask the herbal cannabis notes.
How to Store Cannabis Keto Butter Chicken
- Keto cannabis savory dishes store refrigerated for 3-4 days. The high fat content actually helps preserve the food.
- Cannabis compound butter logs wrap well in parchment and freeze for 3 months. Slice off a pat for any meal.
- Bacon-wrapped or cheese-based cannabis keto snacks keep well in sealed containers in the fridge for a week.
- The sauce thickens when chilled; reheat with a splash of cream and store for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
Variations & Ideas
- Melt cannabis butter over a thick steak or grilled chicken thigh as it rests for an effortless infused meal.
- Mix cannabis oil into a keto cheese sauce made with heavy cream and cheddar for nachos or broccoli.
- Toss roasted low-carb vegetables in cannabis-infused avocado oil with salt and pepper.
- Serve over zucchini noodles instead of cauliflower rice, or add a handful of fresh spinach to the sauce.
Frequently Asked Questions
Any high-fat, flavorful food works well. Top choices include cheese crisps, bacon-wrapped items, cauliflower mac and cheese, fathead dough pizza, and butter-basted meats. The key is that the dish already contains fat so the cannabis addition feels natural.
Absolutely. Bulletproof coffee is an excellent keto cannabis vehicle. Blend cannabis MCT oil or butter into your hot coffee with a frother. The fat emulsifies into the coffee, and the effects may onset faster because liquid calories digest quickly.
Yes, positively. Higher fat meals significantly increase THC bioavailability. Studies show that consuming THC with a high-fat meal can increase absorption by up to three times. This is one reason keto edibles may feel stronger than low-fat alternatives.
Brush or drizzle a small amount of cannabis oil on cheese before baking into crisps at moderate temperature. The cheese fat and cannabis oil merge nicely. Keep the oven at 350 F (175 C) or below and watch closely since cheese burns quickly.
You can brush bacon with cannabis oil before baking at moderate heat, or more effectively, cook bacon normally and toss it in melted cannabis butter. Direct high-heat frying with cannabis fat is wasteful because it degrades THC at pan-frying temperatures.
