Recipe: Slow Cooker Indian Butter Chicken with Sweet Peas from Feeding a Family

In Feeding a Family, Sarah Waldman shares tips and tricks for cooking with kids, as well as delicious recipes and with beautiful photographs by Elizabeth Cecil. Her recipes are organized by season and offer ideas for how to get the kids involved and how to use a meal for leftovers the next day. Here's what Sarah has to say about her "Slow Cooker Indian Butter Chicken with Sweet Peas" recipe that is one of our staff favorites:

Slow Cooker Indian Butter Chicken with Sweet Peas

Serves 4-6

I encourage you to make this meal your own by choosing toppings and sides that are your family's favorites or that need to be eaten up. You know the ones—like that last sprinkle of nuts taking up precious storage space and staring at you, longingly, from the cabinet. Itypically boil up some rice and toast slivered almonds with a handful of flaked coconut, but warm naan bread is another good accompaniment.

KIDS CAN: Little hands can use child-safe knives or kitchen shears to chop cilantro for the garnish.

Add in the butter, tomato paste, and coconut milk. Mix again. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours until the chicken pulls apart easily with a fork.

2. Before serving, stir in the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and peas. Allow everything to heat through, then serve the butter chicken over a bed of basmati rice. Top with cilantro, toasted coconut, and toasted slivered almonds, if desired.

FOR BABY: Indian Butter Chicken is very tender and can be easily shredded with two forks. Mix in some rice and you have baby's meal.
