SLOW COOKER BUTTER CHICKEN
Butter Chicken is one of my favorite curry recipes: tender chicken chunks in an ultra-rich and delicious sauce enriched with butter and
cream.
Serious amounts of butter and cream make this the PERFECT KETO MEAL, served with cauliflower rice or perhaps zucchini noodles.
Despite the richness of the sauce,
this is a very easy recipe where the slow cooker does almost all the work. You can even prepare the base of the sauce ahead of time and freeze it so you always have it handy!
