This Indian Butter Chicken is so simple, just throw it in a slow cooker and you’ve got an easy meal!
Disclosure: I received a free copy of the cookbook for review, but all statements in this post are my own opinion.
I am so excited to share this post with you today. A good friend of mine, Sarah, has published an AWESOME cookbook. If you are a busy mom, you simply must get this book. It became my all-time favorite cookbook about 10 minutes after I started looking through it!
The book is called ‘The Magical Slow Cooker: Recipes for Busy Moms”. I am loving it because it has all kinds of recipes in it, from the expected soups, stews, and main dishes, to side dishes and breakfast dishes, and even has a bunch of dessert recipes! Slow Cooker Cheesecake, anyone?? You have to try this to believe it!
I am planning on eventually eating my way through the entire book (focusing on that amazing dessert section!), but for starters, I decided to go with a dinner.
As I was flipping through the main dish section, I noticed this one recipe that looked SUPER easy and delicious, and I didn’t need to look any further. I knew this recipe and I were destined to be together!
There are only 3 ingredients (not counting salt and pepper and the optional cilantro) – this recipe just about makes itself! It took me literally 5 minutes to throw everything in the crock pot, and then I forgot about the whole thing until about 20 minutes before I wanted to serve dinner.
At that point, I made some quinoa (the recipe calls for rice, but I was out, and the quinoa worked just as well), steamed some asparagus, and bam! Dinner was ready!
Kids loved it, DH loved it, and I loved it. Dinner that night was a major success, and I still had the energy to take pictures of it for you! 😀
Sarah would love for you to stop by her website, The Magical Slow Cooker. And get yourself a copy of her book for an amazing collection of slow cooker recipes your whole family will love!

Amazing! I’ve done this with chicken breasts, but should change to thighs to make it cheaper.
I need that cookbook since I have a newborn in the house now. Thanks for linking up with Share the Wealth Sunday!

Slow cooker meals are perfect for me because I have higher energy levels with lower pain levels in the mornings. By the afternoons, I’m exhausted and achy all over. And two ingredients in the slow cooker is even better!! This would be great to pair with the slow cooker risotto that was linked just above your link at #SmallVictoriesSUndayLinkup ! Thanks for sharing your recipe with us!
