Slow-Cooker Chicken Tikka Masala

By Lynne Lavelle

This creamy, comforting chicken tikka masala is specially designed for your slow cooker and your fast life. The chicken thighs will hold up perfectly (and hey, it'll still be delicious if they shred), it freezes well, and it can easily be doubled for large gatherings or meal planning.
