Ingredients:

2 onions, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

3 tablespoons of butter

2 tablespoons of fresh ginger, grated

2 tablespoons of coconut sugar

2 teaspoons of chili powder

3/4 teaspoon ground coriander

3/4 teaspoon of ground turmeric

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1 can diced tomatoes (low sodium)

1 cup low sodium chicken broth

1/4 cup of almond butter

1/4 cup of cashew butter

3 lbs boneless chicken breasts

1 cup of coconut milk

2 tablespoons of fresh cilantro

*optional – package of cauliflower rice

Directions:

In the slow cooker, combine onions, garlic, butter, ginger, coconut sugar, tomatoes, and spices

Whisk broth, coconut milk with almond and cashew butter; pour into slow cooker

This is when you could add cauliflower rice as well. This will be a great addition if you are going carb-free and want this meal to be super filling and satisfying. If you prefer to serve the butter chicken over rice then cook cauliflower rice separately and serve butter chicken over it.

Cover and cook on low for 5 to 8 hours

Add chicken and cook until liquid runs clear 30 – 40 minutes

Add fresh cilantro

OR if cooking on the stove in a pot, cook and cover sauce first to allow ingredients to blend and then 30-45 minutes before wanting to consume add the chicken and cook until done to ensure that the pieces stay tender.

For fat-loss clients, we suggest eating this over a bed of greens – hot curry on salad. This is also good with a side of veggies,  roasted cauliflower OR cauliflower rice. This tastes delicious as leftovers the next day!
