Slow-Cooker Chicken Tikka Masala
There is a known fact that Indian dishes can be so creamy and so flavored and this one makes no exception. By using the slow-cooker you get an extra-tender chicken breast, which pairs perfectly well with the yogurt. Serve this with an aromatic cucumber salad and cooked rice.
