Crockpot Butter Chicken

Crockpot Butter Chicken delivers tender, flavorful chicken in a delicious, creamy sauce. Perfect for dipping naan or spooning over rice, and totally kid-approved!

A new Indian spot opened nearby, and my family is obsessed. The kids’ favorite? Butter chicken—no contest. They can’t get enough!

My classic butter chicken is a forever favorite, but I needed a quicker option for busy days. This Crockpot Butter Chicken takes care of itself while I’m out running errands (or cheering at yet another basketball game!).

Walking into a home filled with the smell of this slow-cooked meal? The best feeling ever!
