Sweet potatoes and red Thai curry make this Slow Cooker Butter Chicken recipe with cauliflower rice is irresistible, quick and easy to make.
Wowzer! Did you guys see all the snow that piled up this weekend on the East coast? Is it possible to have snow storm envy? Well, I do! Minne-snow-ta is a little light on the snow these days and winter is so much more fun with snow days!
With this cold (and sadly snow-free) weather, I’ve been craving a big bowl of Indian food. I’ve been making this recipe for slow cooker butter chicken for a few months now and it’s always a hit. The ingredient list might be long but the actual prep time is really pretty quick.
Red Thai curry, lots of ginger, garlic and garam masala give this dish tons of flavor. The coconut milk makes it creamy and delicious and the sweet potato keeps it filling. Serve it with regular white rice or cauliflower rice for an easy weeknight meal.
