Slow Cooker Chicken Tikka Masala
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients:
-5 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 1 inch pieces (about 3 lbs)
-1/2 large yellow onion, finely diced
-4 cloves garlic, minced
-2 Tbsp freshly, finely grated ginger
-1 (29 oz) can tomato puree (I recommend Contadina Brand)
-1 1/2 cups plain yogurt
-2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
-2 Tbsp lemon juice
-2 Tbsp Garam Masala
-1 Tbsp cumin
-1/2 Tbsp paprika
-2 tsp salt, or to taste
-3/4 tsp cinnamon
-3/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
-1-3 tsp cayenne pepper*
-2 bay (laurel) leaves
-1 cup heavy cream
-1/2 tbsp cornstarch
-Prepared Long Grain White Rice or Basmati Rice
Chopped cilantro, for serving
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl combine chopped onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, tomato puree, plain yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, Garam Masala, cumin, paprika, salt, cinnamon, pepper and cayenne pepper. Stir until combine. Pour half of sauce mixture into a large slow cooker then add in diced chicken followed then cover chicken with remaining sauce. Add in 2 bay leaves. Cover slow cooker with lid and cook on low heat for 8 hours (or high for 4 hours).
In a mixing bowl, whisk together heavy cream and cornstarch, pour mixture into slow cooker and gently stir. Allow mixture to cook 20 minutes while you prepare the rice. Remove bay leaves and serve warm over rice and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
Notes: *I put 1 -3 tsp because it is all depending on your heat preference. If you don't like spicy foods you could even omit this ingredient. I go for 3 tsp but I like my food really spicy.

HP sauce (brown sauce) is the best.
So much better than Ketchup (red sauce)...
For real men.
Mushy peas are rank.
But better than normal peas with some fish and chips.

A Tika Masala isn't British food.
I'm pretty sure it's Indian.

Well yeah it's not ENGLISH...but apparently its so popular it should be the national dish? LOL
Does it have something to do with the Indian influence during colonial times?
