White Pepper Butter Chicken

Submitted by Blanket Girl

"This is a simple recipe idea I came up with, being a single mom-to-be, a college student, and a member of the full-time workforce. It makes a BIG (for one person), delicious pot of versatile food, and it's so economical. Make sure to use WHITE pepper, it makes all the difference in flavor. Not in the recipe as I posted it, but strain the drippings to make a knock-out gravy!"

This was a very good crockpot chicken dish. It has an intense flavor. I thought it was even better cold the next day.
