"This Butter Chicken recipe is one I enjoy often. My DH is not a big fan of Indian food but he does really enjoy this. Serve this with a side of Jasmine or Basmati rice or your favorite bun or Naan Bread to soak up those fantastic juices."

Delicious butter chicken! I loved that it was a crockpot meal so it was ready when I got home from work. All I had to do was to make a salad and heat up some rice. This was very flavorful. I especially liked the fire roasted tomatoes. Thank you!

This is a lovely Butter Chicken recipe that we enjoyed for 2 dinners and I have some leftover to freeze for another meal. I always have these ingredients on hand, and I'll be making this again. Next time I will probably use a little less tomato sauce per Hubby's preference. Served with shredded coconut, chutney and sambal for some more "kick!" Delicious!

This was exceptionally delicious. I loved the addition of the fire-roasted tomatoes in this recipe, it added a nice tomato flavor with a bit of a fire-roasted kick. It worked quite well in this recipe. The sauce is so flavorful though, and it served to also moisten the steamed white rice that I served with the Butter Chicken. It was a very satisfying and filling dinner. Thank you, QueenBea.

The only change I made was a little less tomato sauce and more of the spices otherwise made as per recipe for a delicious easy to cook dinner. Thank you to Breezermom for the recommendation and to QueenBea for the recipe, made for Best Of '22 tag game at FF&F.

Don't stay at home while this is cooking! You will have drool running out of your mouth. The aroma is so enticing, it is all you can do not to lift that crock pot lid! And the flavor does not disappoint either. I served over rice with foccocia bread because that was what I had on hand, It would have been better with Naan.

This butter chicken was soooo delicious and it turned out perfectly. It will be my go-to recipe from this point on. Served it with a pea pulao and we had a wonderful meal.
