We often think of crockpot meals as “winter food”, but in reality an electric slow cooker is a fantastic tool for big batch meal prep all year. It is a simple way to feed you and your family nutritious whole food meals, even when schedules get full. Indian food is a favorite restaurant pick among my crew, but I have always been intimidated to cook it at home. This Chicken Tikka Masala from SlenderKitchen.com is an easy one though. Throw all of the ingredients in to the crockpot before you leave for the day and come home to the delicious aromas of this Indian classic. Enjoy!
