INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a large ziploc bag the night before cooking add the yogurt, lemon juice, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne, black pepper, ginger, salt and chicken (leave the chicken breasts whole here).
2. Zip the bag closed and work the mixture into the chicken until all incorporated. Refrigerate overnight.
3. Scrape off a majority of the marinade that is on the chicken and discard it. You'll have plenty of the second sauce to keep the food moist and provide enough sauce.
4. Cut the chicken into two inch chunks.
5. When you're ready to cook the chicken, add the butter, garlic and jalapeno into the bottom of the slow cooker.
