Crock Pot Chicken Tikka Masala

I really like Indian food and this chicken tikka masala is so good and easy to throw together in the crock pot.  Simmer all day for authentic Indian flavor without a lot of fuss!

Crock Pot Chicken Tikka Masala (adapted from theskinnyfork.com)

2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed

1 yellow onion, diced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 (13 1/2 oz.) can light coconut milk

1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste

1 (14 1/2 oz.) can crushed tomatoes

1 (14 1/2 oz.) can diced tomatoes

2 carrots, peeled and sliced

1 t. dried ginger

2 garlic cloves, minced or 1 t. garlic powder

1 T. curry powder

2 T. garam masala

1 t. cumin

1/2 t. chili powder

1/4 c. chopped cilantro

Combine all ingredients, except for cilantro, in a crock pot.  Stir well to combine.  Cover and cook on high for 4-6 hours or on low for 6-8 hours.  Serve over basmati rice and garnish with cilantro.

This could be prepped ahead and cooked when you are ready.
