Make Your Own Takeout With This Slow Cooker Restaurant Style Butter Chicken

July 12, 2018 By Vanessa Beaty Leave a Comment

Takeout is wonderful, right? I mean, you get a nice, wholesome, delicious meal and you don’t have to spend hours in the kitchen. We don’t have a good Indian restaurant around me, so I rarely get to indulge in delicious Indian takeout. Until now.

Make Your Own Takeout With This Slow Cooker Restaurant Style Butter ChickenThis restaurant style butter chicken recipe is absolutely fabulous, and it’s made in the slow cooker so it’s just as easy to make as it is wonderful to eat. It takes about an hour and a half, including cooking time.

Prep time until you add it to the slow cooker is only about 15 minutes. Just imagine, you can have authentic Indian takeout style food that cooks while you do other things around the house. It’s the perfect meal and it will save you money because let’s face it, all that takeout isn’t free, right?

I love easy recipes that turn out scrumptious meals. Like this spinach and bacon frittata that you could have ready the night before and just pop it in the oven for a quick and nutritious breakfast. Anything that saves me time – and money – and turns out delicious foods that my family will eat is a winner in my book.

Now, let’s get back to the yummy butter chicken. It’s got yogurt, almonds, tomatoes, garlic, and of course, ginger and cumin to give it that great Indian dish flavor. Honestly, this is one of the best recipes, and you can serve it up with naan or any other Indian bread and you’ll really feel like you’ve ordered takeout.

If you’re looking for something a little different than chicken spaghetti or your traditional go-to of burgers or hot dogs, this is definitely a recipe that you want to try out. I promise you’re going to love it, and it’s so easy to make that it’s perfect for those busy weeknights when you would actually have to order takeout to have a good, warm meal.
