Slow Cooker Butter Chicken

Method

  1. 1

    Place the chicken, garlic, onion and jalapeño in the slow cooker and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the chunks of butter.

  2. 2

    In a medium mixing bowl combine the curry powder, garam masala, turmeric, chili powder, ginger and cayenne pepper and stir. Add the coconut milk and tomato and whisk until combine. Pour over the chicken mixture and give it a good stir.

  3. 3

    Cover and cook on low for 5 hours. Serve warm garnished with cilantro over basmati rice and naan bread.

Notes

While the butter does add a savory flavor to the chicken, it still tastes great without it if you want a lighter version. You can use coconut oil in place of the butter. Feel free to add vegetables to this dish. I really like adding chopped cauliflower and carrots, which you can add when you add the chicken to the slow cooker.
