Brown the chicken on both sides using either a grill pan or by placing it under the grill, cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side. Place the chicken into the slow cooker pot and then coat it with the plain flour, pour in the sauce and give it a stir. Place the tablespoon of butter into the pot then cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours. Add in the double cream and freshly chopped coriander before serving.
