Indian takeout is one of my favorite things to eat for a quick and easy dinner, but ordering regularly can get so expensive! What if you were able to have a meal that tastes restaurant quality hot and ready for you when you get home? This Slow Cooker Butter Chicken recipe takes advantage of your crock pot, and is oh so delicious.
You can cook this low and slow, or high and fast if you're in a hurry - either way, let the slow cooker do the work. All you need to do is get some rice and naan from your grocery store, and you've got a meal to remember!
