Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 medium yellow onion, diced
5 cloves garlic, finely chopped

Add garam masala; cook 30 seconds. Add tomato paste and salt; cook and stir 2 minutes. Add chicken broth, and scrape bottom of skillet with wooden spoon. Transfer to slow cooker.
