Slowcooked Chicken Tikka Masala

Everybody likes a good curry, but this Slowcooked Chicken Tikka Masala will take that like to new levels of affection.

Like all slow cooked meals, we love that we can just throw this into the pot and leave it to cook all day long, filling our house with delicious smells.

As you probably know if you’re a tikka masala fan, this kind of curry has always been one of the ones that tastes better after a good long simmer, so it made perfect sense to adjust it into a slow cooker recipe.

To add a few more veggies to this dish feel free to dice up some potato, sweet potato or pumpkin (peeled) and pop in with the chicken.
