Blueprint: Bone Broth Butter Chicken – Gluten-Free, Low-Glycemic, Healing Greens, Herbs, & Adaptogens
Introduction & Concept
This Bone Broth Butter Chicken takes the classic Indian dish to the next level by infusing it with gut-healing, immune-boosting, and adaptogenic ingredients while keeping it gluten-free and low-glycemic.
Traditional butter chicken is already a nutrient-dense, high-protein dish, but by replacing conventional cream with bone broth-infused coconut cream, adding healing greens, herbs, and adaptogens, this dish transforms into a functional, supercharged meal that supports gut health, digestion, energy balance, and overall well-being.
Core Ingredients & Features (Gut-Healing, Low GI, & Nutrient-Packed)
1. Bone Broth Base – Deep Flavor & Gut Healing
🔹 Why? Collagen supports gut lining, enhances digestion, and adds depth of flavor.
• Unsalted Organic Chicken Bone Broth (Rich in collagen, minerals, and amino acids)
• Fresh Ginger & Garlic (Boosts digestion, anti-inflammatory, immune support)
• Onion & Tomato Base (Essential for depth and umami in Indian curries)
• Bay Leaf, Cloves & Cinnamon Stick (Classic Indian spices that support digestion and circulation)
2. High-Quality Protein – Clean & Nutrient-Dense
🔹 Why? Chicken is a lean, high-protein option that absorbs all the nourishing flavors.
• Pasture-Raised Chicken Thighs (Juicier and more flavorful than breast meat)
• Lemon Juice & Turmeric (Enhances absorption of nutrients & boosts anti-inflammatory benefits)
3. Healthy Fats – Creamy & Low-Glycemic
🔹 Why? Keeps blood sugar stable, enhances satiety, and balances the dish.
• Full-Fat Coconut Cream (Dairy-free, gut-friendly, adds rich creaminess)
• Grass-Fed Ghee (Traditional in Indian cuisine, supports digestion and gut health)
4. Healing Greens & Herbs – Detoxifying & Anti-Inflammatory
🔹 Why? Loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals for gut and liver support.
• Moringa Leaves or Spinach (Rich in iron, chlorophyll, and liver-detoxifying properties)
• Fresh Cilantro (Heavy metal detoxifier and cooling herb for balance)
• Fenugreek Leaves (Methi) (Traditional Indian herb that aids digestion and blood sugar control)
5. Adaptogens & Superfoods – Functional Benefits for Energy & Stress Support
🔹 Why? Enhances immunity, hormone balance, and stress resilience.
• Ashwagandha Powder (Supports adrenal function, reduces stress, and promotes relaxation)
• Maca Powder (Boosts energy, stamina, and hormonal balance)
• Turmeric & Black Pepper (Anti-inflammatory, increases bioavailability of nutrients)
6. Low-Glycemic Side Options – Blood Sugar Friendly
🔹 Why? Replaces high-carb options like white rice with fiber-rich, low-GI alternatives.
• Cauliflower Rice (Light, grain-free, absorbs sauce beautifully)
• Sprouted Quinoa (More protein and fiber, better for digestion and gut health)
• Flaxseed & Psyllium Flatbread (Gluten-free, fiber-rich alternative to naan)
