Taken from https://crockpot365.blogspot.com/2008/12/crockpot-chicken-makhani-indian-butter.html so I could see the nutritional info. Stephanie says:

"Use a 5 quart or larger crockpot. Carefully sew together the cardamom pods using a needle and thread. You can put them in a little cheese cloth bundle, instead, if you have that in the house. Put chicken in crockpot, and add onion, garlic, and all of the dry spices. Plop in the butter and tomato paste. Add lemon juice and coconut milk. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or high for 4. The chicken should shred easily with 2 forks when fully cooked.

"Stir in plain yogurt 15 minutes before serving. Discard cardamom pods. Salt to taste, serve with white or brown basmati rice."

    I so wanted this to taste awesome - i had also seen it on the blog, i guess i was hoping for a more butter taste...
    I also skipped the yogurt - made it taste too weird.
    I also used 4 breasts vs 6. - 2/9/11
