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.
