Crockpot Chicken Tiki Masala

June 27, 2017 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 11 Comments

Good morning! I may have said this before but I will say it again, I would much rather bake than cook. Personally I like sugar better than meat. That said, I do cook and frequently experiment with different foods, as I am not partial to a slab of meat, I like dishes with complex, interesting flavors and spices. Therefore at my house I am the inside cook and my husband mans the grill and occasionally the cast iron skillet. 

One of the foods that I love most is Indian food and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it even more if it can be made in a Crock Pot. I like being able to come home from the beach or being out on my board and not having to worry about dinner. This weekend I made Crock Pot Chicken Tiki Masala using a recipe from one of my favorite bloggers The Iron You.  First and foremost this recipe is  flavorful and delicious and secondly, it is incredibly easy.  It is better than a restaurant, and you can serve it over basmati rice or cauliflower rice if you are eating low carb. You could also add a piece of naan bread to soak up the scrumptious, spicy gravy if you are not watching your carbs. 

Crockpot Chicken Tiki Masala

Recipe from: The Iron You

2 lbs organic chicken breasts cut into 1″ pieces

1 large onion, finely chopped

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 20 oz. can of crushed tomato

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoon Garam masala

2 teaspoon ground cumin

2 teaspoons ground coriander

2 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon turmeric

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 bay leaves

1 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons cornstarch

Juice of 1/2 lemon

Grease the inside of your crock pot bowl with cooking spray.  Set aside. Combine all ingredients (except for bay leaves, heavy cream, cornstarch, and lemon juice) in a large bowl. Stir to combine everything, making sure that the chicken is well coated. 

Pour the mixture into the slow cooker and place the two bay leaves on top. Cover and cook for 8 hours on low heat for 4 hours on high. 

When mixture in the crock pot is done, in a separate small bowl combine heavy cream and cornstarch  and gently stir into the mixture. Let cook an additional 20 minutes for the mixture to thicken up.

Finally add lemon juice and gently stir to incorporate.

Serve warm over basmati rice, cauliflower rice or plain. You could also add a can or two of drained and rinsed chic peas to the mixture for the last 30 minutes of cooking. 

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Do you have an easy, and favorite Indian dish? Please share if you do, I would love to try something new as I typically make Chicken(or cauliflower/chick pea) Tiki Masala or Indian Butter Chicken.

Have a fabulous week!

    Interesting….now I would rather cook than bake because I like savory over sweet! My husband is quite the opposite….no wait, HE LOVES BOTH SUGAR AND MEAT!

    Sounds good my friend!

    I will cook this simply for the smell it will give the entire house! The aroma of our homes is just as important as the visuals. Sometimes more so if they are not so good!-Laurel

Just because we are turning the calendar page doesn’t mean we should forget that A). We should love and appreciate each other and B). To take care of our hearts! Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death in women? Ladies if you don’t take care of yourself no one else can, eat right and get moving, cardio vascular exercise is great for your heart!

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe.
