Easy Crockpot Meal: Indian Butter Chicken
Unpopular opinion: I’m not a huge crockpot fan 🙈 Now don’t get me wrong, I love the idea of dump and go and how it makes your house smell delicious before dinner. I just feel like most of the recipes I’ve tried have all tasted similar and came out kind of blah no matter how much seasoning I used.
