Ok, so if I didn't mention it before, I found a post on Pinterest about 30 days of crockpot meals (but it's actually just 13). 3 crockpot recipes/week for 4 weeks (an extra on the last week). So I got through week one and loved all three recipes! Today I began week 2 and Michael and I give it 4 stars! Today we had Crockpot Chicken Tikka Masala. I hadn't heard of it before, but was ready to give it a try. It had a lot of our normal ingredients, chicken, tomatoes, onions, tomato paste, salt, and pepper. But what made this recipe different was the Garam Masala seasoning and coconut milk. That's all that went into the crockpot! Pretty easy! I served it over rice as suggested by the original author of the recipe. It smelled really good all day while it was cooking! The only think I'll change next time is that I'll shred the chicken instead of cutting it into chunks so it can mix with the sauce and into the rice better. Seriously, at the better where it was all sauce and rice and little pieces of chicken, it was like comfort food at it's finest! So yummy! And Michael gave it two thumbs up! Winning! Also, the recipe called for 2 lbs of chicken, which I used, but next time I think 1 lb would be just fine. The kids hesitated at first, but eventually came around and cleaned their plates (in anticipation of dessert, see next post). And, good news, Connor doesn't appear to be allergic to coconut anymore! No hives during or after dinner! Woot! If you want to try something a little different but still get that Cook comfort food stick to your bones feel, give this recipe** a try!
Toodles!
