I have to tell you upfront that this recipe is severely addicting. Over the holidays, I was lucky enough to try Butter Chicken. Even the name makes my mouth water. As a gift, I got the Pioneer Woman New Frontier Cookbook and seen her recipe for Slow Cooker Butter Chicken. While her recipe calls for using chicken thighs, full fat coconut milk, butter and heavy cream, I tinkered around and have come up with this Weight Watchers Remade Pioneer Woman’s Slow Cooker Butter Chicken recipe. If I were you I’d get extra ingredients, because this is extremely addictive. You’ve been warned 🙂

Weight Watchers Remade Pioneer Woman’s Slow Cooker Butter Chicken
3 Pounds of Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, Cut into 2″ Chunks
1 Large Yellow Onion, Diced
5 Garlic Cloves, Minced
14 Ounce Can of Light Coconut Milk
14 Ounce Can of Stewed Tomatoes
2 Tablespoons Each of Tomato Paste & Sriracha Sauce
1.5 Tablespoons of Garam Marsala (Spice Section)
1 Teaspoon Each of Ground Ginger, Curry Powder, Pepper & Salt
Cilantro Leaves, for Serving
Plain Fat Free Greek Yogurt, For Serving
Vegetable Cooking Spray
Cooked Cauliflower, Broccoli or Kohlrabi Rice
DIRECTIONS:
- Spray a 5 quart slow cooker with vegetable cooking spray. Add in the chicken, onion and garlic.
- In a large bowl or measuring cup, shake the can of light coconut milk to mix it up. Add in the stewed tomatoes, tomato paste, sriracha sauce, garam marsala, ground ginger, curry powder, pepper and salt. Mix well.
- Pour over the chicken and stir to combine.
- Put lid on the slow cooker and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 7 to 8 hours. In the middle of cooking time, stir everything up again to prevent sticking.
- This makes 6 Servings. On the WW Personal Plan, if you chose Chicken as a 0 Point Food, each serving is 3 PP. If you did not choose Chicken as a 0 Point Food, each serving is 7 PP.
- For the SmartPoint Plans, each serving is 2 SmartPoints on the Blue and Purple Plans.On the Green Plan it is 7 SmartPoints per serving. Since vegetable rices are 0 Points on all the plans, you can have as much as you’d like.
- On the Purple Plan, Wild Rice and Wild Rice Brown Blend are ZeroPoint Foods. Personally, I love having this meal with a side of Wild Rice since I’m on the Purple Plan.
- To serve, sprinkle the Butter Chicken with fresh cilantro leaves and add a dollop or 2 of fat free plain Greek Yogurt. Enjoy!
