This slow cooker butter chicken has great flavour and is easy to make! It is perfect for the person on the go, and can be frozen for lunches and dinners. It is healthy and can be customized to suit your tastes!
Butter Chicken is one of my favourite meals when I go out to eat, if I can get a gluten free option! It has become a comfort food in my mind, and is is perfect on cold winter days. It warms you up with its spice, however is light and won't leave you feeling like you over ate. This is not prepared the same way as traditional butter chicken, but it has the same great flavour. It is easy for someone on the go because it is quick to prepare and can be left in the slow cooker all day. This is a great base, you can change it as you feel necessary. You may want to lightly grill your chicken before putting it in the slow cooker, or add more curry if you prefer a spicier dish. It is necessary to use the slow cooker so the flavour is absorbed into the chicken, and the sauce gets a chance to thicken since there is no flour required. Next time I make this recipe I will make some gluten free naan bread to pair with it. It freezes well, so the left overs can be enjoyed for lunches later on when you are short on time.
