My time to shine This isn't slowcooking, but those packets make really good butter chicken in less than 30 min. The wife and I have that at least once every two weeks.
Best butter chicken recipe I have, that gets me closest to restaurant is the Taste of India Butter Chicken Paste... I usually add a can of coconut cream and a 1/3 cup of water to it.
Trust me. Buy this: https://www.amazon.com/Kitchens-India-Butter-Chicken-3-5-Ounce/dp/B000V17MLS/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1487172075&sr=8-1&keywords=kitchens+of+india+butter+chicken
Trust me... I've been trying to make curries at home for the last 10 years. I've tried many recipes, from scratch fresh ground spices, to boxed spices, and even other pastes. This brand has become a staple for me now. I can whip up a dish in 30 minutes and it's better than a lot of restaurants around me. My favorite paste they sell is the chicken curry, tastes like an authentic dhaba style curry you can get in India.
ps) I have fond memories of helping my dad make "chicken" (usually this meant desi style curry) growing up and it wasn't until I became older that I appriciated how much I enjoyed that.
Make butter chicken at home! I have this coming to me every few months through Amazon subscription! http://www.amazon.com/Kitchens-India-Butter-Chicken-3-5-Ounce/dp/B000V17MLS
On amazon they occasionally have 40-50% off "Kitchen of India" seasoning. They are AWESOME!! I recommend the butter chicken curry and chicken curry seasoning. keep checking slickdeals.net for the next sale. (usually just cook boneless chicken breast cubed up and after browning the chicken add in the seasoning and water and let it simmer. DAMN good over rice) http://www.amazon.com/Kitchens-India-Butter-Chicken-3-5-Ounce/dp/B000V17MLS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=grocery&qid=1268424032&sr=8-1

I like keeping this on hand for a super easy weeknight dinner plus lunches. I'll add chicken thighs, chick peas, onions, and spinach and season to taste.
Another one I like is this chicken and biscuits by tasty https://tasty.co/recipe/chicken-biscuits-bake. Delicious during the winter but not the healthiest meal. I just bake the biscuits while making it instead of they're way.
I'll keep a bag of frozen stir fry veggies and chicken thighs for chicken stir fry and rice or this stewed chicken https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/83421/trinidad-stewed-chicken/. Drumsticks are great in this recipe too and are cheaper too. Adding a carribean hot sauce/spices to this one helps a ton too over just red pepper flakes.
Add the chicken and vegetables to the pot, use the water to loosely dissolve the curry paste, and then pour the soupy paste-and-water mixture into the pot.
It comes out like a very, very chunky sauce which is best served over rice or pasta.
Just a heads up, the "Butter Chicken Curry" that is linked in the article contains some added sugar. I'm not super familiar with different types of curry and I don't know what the taste would be like, but the "Chicken Curry" does not have any added sugar.
Otherwise, this looks awesome and I can't wait to try it!
Hello! Do you mind me asking, is it [this] (https://www.amazon.com/Taste-India-Butter-Chicken-Sauce/dp/B00E1FSKOS) or this ?? If neither, can you direct me to the amazon link? Thanks in advance!
Butter chicken!
I don't make it from scratch but I use this packet of seasoning:
https://www.amazon.com/Kitchens-India-Butter-Chicken-3-5-Ounce/dp/B000V17MLS
I also add about a cup of red lentils and add extra water for additional protein and fiber. You can skip the butter and cream if you want... or maybe just add a splash of half and half... I leave out the butter and don't even notice. Sometimes when cauliflower is in season i'll use that instead of chicken. I love this stuff!
Sandwiches... thinly sliced or pounded down with a mallet and cooked in a skillet. Add a favorite bread, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, etc. I hit up the salad bar at the store for toppings sometimes too.
I made a Thai red curry sausage once with ground pork and rice, it tasted great and had a really nice spice to it. Might want to try Kitchens of India butter chicken, it's more of a paste than a pre-made sauce, lets you control the liquid in the recipe. I intend to make another curry sausage soon, going to do some protein with yellow curry with coconut cream and rice.
Just a warning: The Kitchens of India stuff recently changed their recipe (and the packaging is now blue). It's now a good bit higher in carbs -- from 3g/serving to 7g/serving.

I get this spice mix from Amazon: Kitchens of India Paste for Butter Chicken Curry, 3.5-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000V17MLS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_EujDAbMZCPKT0
I like it a lot, I also add potatoes and cauliflower sometimes for variety and it turned out well.
If I'm having a bad craving for biryani I'll get the Saffron Road biryani from the frozen food aisle. I have seen it at Target, at some organic food stores etc. They nailed the smell, the spice is on the lighter side but it will satiate my craving.
Have you tried getting pastes for the sauces? I really enjoy this one. I normally get it at Wegman's, but it looks like this is a good price from also. It tastes similar to the butter chicken I get at my favorite Indian restaurant if I add a little extra butter or cream.
I know it's not exactly Indian cooking when you use a paste, but it's a way to start an fill your cravings for a littler cheaper. You could try this on a day when you're working on your naan skills.
Not the healthiest, but I really like to make "butter chicken" with this spice packet. It calls for a lot of butter, but doensn't really need that much. I add cream to it at the end, but that's all depending on your tastes (I'm a wimp for spicy foods, and the cream cuts it). It's good with rice and cauliflower, all mixed together, and super easy to make.
In case you'd like a slightly simpler preparation, I've found that I can make a very good butter chicken with this paste, a can of tomato sauce, some half and half and a little bit of sugar. It's cheap and it turns out great!
I know you asked for a recipe, but I swear this stuff is really good. And it's less than $3 USD per package w/ about 3-4 servings each.

I don't make it from scratch. Another user in this sub posted about the Kitchens of India brand pastes and I decided to try them out. http://www.amazon.com/Kitchens-India-Butter-Chicken-3-5-Ounce/dp/B000V17MLS
It does have a tiny bit of sugar, but not enough to where I feel any cravings after eating it. Also, one of the paste packets is said to be for 1 pound of chicken, but I've used more than 1 pound with one packet, which definitely helps reduce the grams of sugar per serving.
Cube up and cook in sauces. I love honey garlic soy chicken over rice, and you can find recipes that do it without the breading which is a giant pita for that many little pieces of chicken, but so much better with it.
I'll probably catch shit for not making my own sauce but this is so so so much easier and is just what I'm wanting for easy butter chicken https://www.amazon.com/Kitchens-India-Butter-Chicken-3-5-Ounces/dp/B000V17MLS I'd make it more often if the smell didn't linger in my apartment for a couple days after making it.
I used THIS paste (it's crazy good), and added potatoes, carrots, onions, peas, and bamboo shoots. I use coconut cream instead of the water the recipe calls for.
My husband and I have the same problem, and our go-to lazy meal is Butter Chicken. Our local Kroger sells a pre-made curry paste that we love (Kitchens of India, Butter Chicken Curry), and we eat that like most families eat spaghetti. Dice up some chicken, add whatever veggies you like, and make some rice and/or naan on the side. We also add a bit of ghost pepper because we like it really spicy, but our weak friends think it's very flavorful without no additional spices (except salt/pepper while the chicken is browning).
I also really enjoy fish as an easy, relatively healthy meal. Tilapia filets take no time to thaw in tepid water, so I just keep some in the freezer for easy, spur-of-the-moment dinners if I can't think of anything else. I season the fish with salt & pepper and either blackening spice or harissa seasoning (our local spice market sells a pre-made blend of dried spices that is my favorite thing ever). I usually nuke some frozen vegetables and make either rice or couscous on the side and add the same spices to the sides that I put on the fish. I usually make an extra meal to re-heat (in my HOME microwave) for lunch the next day.
In my experience, these are the cheapest good foods I can get:
Protein: eggs, chicken
Fats: eggs, nuts, peanut butter
Carbs: rice, beans, potatoes, oatmeal, bananas
Sprinkle in some vegetables here and there where appropriate and you're on point. Also, make sure you check grocer specials and stock up on things you KNOW you're going to go through when they're on sale. I go through a lot of curry paste. I leave the butter out because I don't like cancer.
I realize that this is not made in a slowcooker, but if you don't have the ingredients to make this (I don't), this is a very good alternative:
Butter Chicken Curry
Its kind of cheating but the best butter chicken I've been able to make comes from a packet. Using [this] (https://www.amazon.com/Kitchens-India-Butter-Chicken-3-5-Ounce/dp/B000V17MLS?th=1) with some boneless thighs is fantastic and super easy.
As for rice I just throw jasmine rice in my rice cooker. While neither the curry or rice are authentic they taste good.
