Saute 1/2 onion in 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat for a few minutes.

Transfer the partially cooked chicken and onions to a slow cooker.

Add a jar of butter masala sauce to the slow cooker.

Cover and cook on low for about 3 hours or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

During the last 45 minutes, prepare turmeric rice by cooking white rice with salt, turmeric, and butter.

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and dice or shred it on a cutting board.
