"Time to add a little flavor to your weeknight dinner routine, Slow Cooker Butter Chicken style! The savory, creamy sauce is richly spiced (but spicy), the chicken is plump and juicy, and the veggies are sneakily hidden. This tasty butter chicken is the crockpot version of my Instant Pot Butter Chicken, which is one of the most popular, highest-rated recipes on my website. It has an authentic Indian flavor, but you can find all of the ingredients at an average grocery store, and you’ll need no more than 15 minutes..."
