Description

Stace's famous Slow Cooker Butter Chicken recipe is SUCH a winner with my family. I love that I can make these into freezer dump bags, or prep the morning of for an easy dinner.

Ingredients

Into The Cooker:
1 kg chicken thighs or breasts, 3cm chunks
1 x 400g tin chickpeas, drained
1 onion, finely sliced
5 garlic cloves, crushed
5 cm ginger, grated
3 tspn garam masala
2 tspn sweet paprika
1 tspn ground cardamom
2 tspn ground coriander
2 tbsp ground cumin
2 tbsp ground turmeric
1/2 tspn cinnamon
2 tspn salt
1 tspn pepper
210g tomato paste
1 x 400g tin coconut cream
1 large lemon, juices
Serve With:
1 head of broccoli, chopped into chunks
1 cup rice, cooked


Instructions

STEP 1: Sauté your onions and garlic if you've got time, but if you're in a hurry like me, just toss them straight into the cooker.

STEP 2: Add all the other ingredients, stir well, and pop the lid on. Cook on High for 3 hours, Low for 5 hours, or Pressure Cook for 18 minutes.

STEP 3: In the last hour, take the lid off to let the sauce thicken (totally optional!) and add your chopped veg.

STEP 4: Get your spoon in their mumma and check. You can adjust the seasoning—maybe a touch more lemon or salt? I like mine REALLY zesty, so if my lemon isn't juicy, I often add more. Serve with rice and naan for dipping all that yummy sauce in.
