Slow Cooker Butter Chicken

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 C plain yogurt
  • 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 1⁄2 C heavy cream
  • 2 Tbs butter
  • 2 Tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 Tbs Garam Masala
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • Salt to taste

Directions

  1. Cut the chicken thighs into large bite-sized pieces.
  2. Add them to the slow cooker with the yogurt, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, garam masala, cumin, garlic, ginger, and salt.
  3. Stir thoroughly so every piece of chicken is coated in the sauce.
  4. Cover and cook on LOW for about 6 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
  5. During the final 20 minutes, stir in the butter and heavy cream.
  6. Leave uncovered for a few minutes if you want the sauce slightly thicker.
  7. Taste and adjust the salt before serving with steamed rice or naan.
