Simple Chicken Tikka Masala Slow Cooker Recipe – Serves 4

This Slow Cooker recipe is so easy as it requires very little preparation.  Authentic indian dishes can contain a long list of ingredients if cooking from scratch – this recipe is quick and easy and tastes fantastic!

Lazy but Tasty!

You will need:

1 x Standard Slow Cooker

4 x Skinless Chicken Breasts (I use free range)

1 x Onion (diced)

1 x Tin/Carton of Chopped Tomatoes

1/2 Jar of Tikka Masala Paste (I use Pataks)

2 x Tablespoons of double cream or natural yogurt for a lower fat version

Instructions:

1. Turn Slow Cooker on High

2. Dice onion and add to Slow Cooker

3. Cube chicken and add to Slow Cooker

4. Stir in 1/2 Jar (approx. 150g) of Tikka Masala Paste

5. Stir in Chopped Tomatoes

6. Replace lid and turn to Low – leave 6-8 hours

7. 15 minutes before serving remove lid and add cream/yogurt and stir

Serve with Rice and/or Naan

Please remember that whilst cooking you should not lift the Slow Cooker lid as this increases cooking time by 20 minutes each time you take a peek!  Ensure that chicken is covered by the sauce before cooking and then there is no need to stir during cooking.  Leave at least 6 hours to ensure chicken is cooked throughout – you can leave longer – I do!
