On busy days, I often look for recipes that are not only Keto-friendly but also require only one pot to prepare. This helps me reduce the unwanted kitchen mess while enjoying delicious keto One Pot Dahi Pepper Chicken at home. Since chicken is my staple ingredient in the keto diet, I’m sharing one of my favorite Dahi Pepper Chicken with No Oil. Yes! There’s no oil in this recipe—all you can enjoy is juicy chicken flavor.
