2018 Week 12 Crockpot Butter Chicken

Ingredients

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite size chunks

1/2 onion, finely minced

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

3 cloves garlic, minced or grated

1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger

2 teaspoons curry powder

1-2 teaspoons curry paste 

2 tablespoons garam masala

1/2 teaspoon turmeric 

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper 

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste

1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk, regular or lite (I used regular), plus more if needed to thin the sauce

1/2 cup greek yogurt 

cooked brown rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large glass measuring cup or bowl mix together the coconut milk, greek yogurt and cream. Stir in the tomato paste, garlic, ginger and all the spices. Mix well.
  2. Spray the inside of your crockpot bowl with cooking spray or grease with olive oil. To the bowl sprinkle the onion over the bottom. Add the chicken and then pour the coconut milk mixture over the chicken so the chicken is completely covered. Add the butter and place the lid on the crockpot.
  3. Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6 to 8 hours. I like to stir mine once or twice during cooking, but it is not necessary.
