What's in the slow cooker? Sweet Butter Chicken

Although we haven't been finding such astounding meat deals lately as we did last month, we did pick up some boneless chicken thighs on Saturday so that I could finally try Donna-Marie Pye's Sweet Butter Chicken recipe.  (Mentioned previously.)  Planning to go with it:  basmati rice, thawed pita bread (on sale), cut into wedges, carrot sticks.  Our current batch of lentil sprouts are about a day or so away from being big enough to eat, otherwise I'd use them too.

UPDATE--after all that, how did it turn out?  Generally, everybody liked it, and the package of thighs turned out to be one of the less-greasy variety (that's good).  But for the amount of ingredients and work that it took, I think I prefer our Thai-style curried chicken recipe.  With a whole can of evaporated milk combined with tomato paste, this chicken tasted (to me) somewhat as if I had dumped a can of tomato soup into it and added curry spices.  Would I make it again?  Not sure.  But it was interesting.
