Slow Cooker Indian Butter Chicken

Good Indian food in a slow-cooker? Yep, that's exactly what this is. Also, inexpensive and completely from the pantry? Again, yes, unbelievably. When I want something tasty, inexpensive and done by dinner, this is my new go-to recipe. It's completely hands-free when I make brown rice in my rice cooker. At that point, it's basically take-out because you can eat at any time you'd like. This meal is awesome especially because I've got a new baby in the house!

Ingredients


2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breast (frozen is fine)
1 onion, sliced thinly
8-10 garlic cloves, chopped
4 tablespoons butter
3/4 teaspoons ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons garam masala
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 can of light coconut milk
1 (6 ounce) can of tomato paste
2 tablespoons lemon juice (1 lemon)
1 cup of plain Greek yogurt

Layer your ingredients in the crockpot: first, chicken then onion, garlic, spices, butter, tomato paste, coconut milk, and lemon juice. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, stir every so often. Before serving, shred chicken with two forks and stir in yogurt. Let sit at warm for 15 minutes and serve with brown rice and/or naan bread. Serves 4-6.
