Slow Cooker Butter Chicken
This slow cooker butter chicken is an easy weeknight dinner that is full of flavor! The sauce is rich and full of different spices but don’t worry this dish is not spicy. However, if you like spicy food (like me) then you can always add extra cayenne pepper. This is a meal that my picky toddler actually enjoys and a way to get him to eat protein.
I love making Indian dishes because they are always flavorful and use fresh ingredients. Some dishes require ingredients that you can’t find at your local grocery store but this slow cooker butter chicken uses all of the basics that are easy to find! This dish is something that anyone can make even if you are a beginner when it comes to cooking. Plus, you just have to throw everything into a crockpot. We can get so busy during the week so having a few crockpot recipes that you can put together quickly is a life savior!
Sometimes chicken can gross me out but since we are slow cooking it in this recipe it comes out tender and delicious. My favorite things to serve with this slow cooker butter chicken is white rice and homemade naan bread. The rice and naan soaks up all of the extra yummy sauce.
