Slow Cooker Butter Chicken and Naan

Monday, February 10, 2014 by Lolli 13 Comments

Last week, I posted some pictures of our Sunday night crock pot dinner on Instagram and had more requests for the recipes (for both the butter chicken and the naan) than I was expecting. I found the recipe on Pinterest (isn’t that where all good recipes hang out?) and followed it to Half Baked Harvest.

This slow cooker butter chicken recipe is a HIT in our house. Everyone loves this Indian dish cooked in the crockpot. Tasty and not too spicy. Perfection!

Because I wasn’t able to find one of the ingredients listed in her recipe at the store and in order to adjust it to our taste and family size, I changed the recipe slightly to what you see below. It really was one of my most popular everyone-liked-it recipes that I’ve made my family in a while – and my husband is a huge fan of Indian food (and a tough critic to please!).

Enjoy!

You will definitely want to make this naan recipe as well. It is some of the best naan I’ve ever eaten, thanks to the secret ingredient – more Greek yogurt!

    Manela, This particular recipe calls for a tikka masala paste. Like this: https://amzn.to/2qAAhj6

    There’s a tikka masala sauce that’s readily available at grocery stores which is basically like a short cut to the sauce that this recipe is making, if that makes sense. I use the simmer sauces a lot for quick Indian dinners. There’s also a spice mix called tikka masala, so it’s definitely easy to get them all mixed up! https://amzn.to/2s8AlZq

    Is Tikka Masala a seasoning or sauce? I have never made Indian food before, but this looks delicious. I tried Googling it and I keep coming up with recipes.

    Thanks in advance!
