This low carb butter chicken recipe is really good, it belongs to Pete Evans and its in his new book Family Food which came out this month. I will add info for it underneath.
Garry cooked this dish a few nights ago, we had leftovers the next night also. He didn't make many changes other then use 1kg of chicken thighs, possibly a little extra stock and adding extra coconut cream before serving. For us it served at least 6.
Pete Evans, recommends serving it with cauliflower rice but I had mine with lightly cooked coleslaw type veggies, they went really well together. Here's a photo of my dinner

Method:
Heat 4 tablespoons of coconut oil or ghee in a large saucepan over medium – high heat.
Add the onion and sauté for 3 – 4 minutes or until translucent.
Turn the heat down to low and stir in the garlic, and spices. Mix well and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add the salt and tomatoes paste, cook for a further 1 minutes then add then lemon juice, chicken stock, coconut milk and the remainder of the ghee and mix well.
Turn the heat up to medium and bring the sauce to a simmer. Add the chicken and stir until well coated with the sauce. Cover the pan with a lid and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Garnish with the coriander and serve with the cauliflower rice.
