Prep
- Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch chunks for even cooking. Finely dice the onion and red bell pepper, break the cauliflower into small florets, mince the garlic, and grate the fresh ginger.
Cook Onion Mixture
- In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, curry powder, garam masala, and chili powder, cooking for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Transfer to Slow Cooker
- Pour the onion mixture into your slow cooker. Add the red bell pepper, chicken chunks, cauliflower, tomato sauce, and butter, mixing well.
Cook
- Cover the slow cooker and set it on high for 1.5 to 2.5 hours or on low for 4 to 6 hours.
Rest Chicken
- Once the cooking time is complete, carefully remove the chicken and let it rest on a cutting board for a few minutes.
Finish Sauce
- With the chicken resting, cook the remaining vegetables and sauce on high for an additional 30 to 60 minutes. Stir in the half-and-half and yogurt.
Serve
- Spoon the butter chicken over rice or quinoa and garnish with cilantro. Serve with naan.
