From scratch, slow cooked butter chicken
Ingredients
- 750g (4) Chicken breast fillets - diced
- 3 Tablespoon butter
- 1 Tablespoon oil
- 1 onion chopped
- 3 garlic cloves - crushed
- 2 teaspoon Garam Masala
- 1 teaspoon ground Cardamom
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground Ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground Tumeric

- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 4 Tablespoon Tomato Paste
- 1 jar (700g) Tomato Passata
- 1 tin (400ml) Coconut Cream
Instructions
- Heat oil and butter until melted (either in large fry pan or slow cooker on stove top if able)
- Add onion and garlic and cook gently until onions are soft.
- Add chicken and seal.
- Stir in combined spices. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add tomato paste. Stir to combine then cook for 1 minute.
- Add Passata. Stir to combine thoroughly.
- Cook in slow cooker on High 4 hours.
- Stir occasionally.
- Stir in coconut cream in the last hour.
Notes
- I served with seasoned rice and Naan bread.
- I combined all spices in a small bowl prior to adding.
- I like a little heat so used “hot” versions of paprika and cayenne. Adjust to own taste.
- I used Breville BSC560 which is 6L with searing bowl. Adjust cooking time to your cooker.

Absolutely beautiful – will definitely make again
Really tasty recipe, I’ll be definitely making this again.
Might leave out the sugar – the recipe is great as it is!
That’s only my personal preference though 🙂
Have made this twice now and we love it! Especially my 1 year old. I think it’s her favourite meal. Freezes well too.
Delicious! I skipped all the pre-cook instructions & put it all in SC together. I left out the sugar (a personal preference) & forgot to buy coconut cream. Used dairy cream on individual serve instead (individuals for personal preference). This one will be made again.
Everyone loved this dish. The leftovers will make some nice pies for lunch tomorrow. Another winner, thank you Pauline.
this recipe has a permanent place on our menu plan. We just tone down the spicy to mild. highly recommend this recipe.
That’s great! Thanks so much for sharing your feedback Fiona 🙂
Will definately be making this again. So much flavour and an easy recipe to follow. 👌
Wonderful to read your feedback! Thanks for taking the time xx
