Onion. Garlic. Coconut Milk. Water or Broth. Tomato. Herbs and Spices of Choice. Chicken.
Throw it in the crockpot and walk away (4-6 hours on high, 6-8 hours on low). Serve over rice, potatoes, veggies, whatever floats your boat. <3
Want the exact recipe I used? I will try to give it to you - I'm not very good at measuring when I cook, but here's my best guess at what I threw in...
Crockpot Chicken Tikka-Ish
Ingredients
1 lb. raw chicken (I use the less-expensive cuts, if I'm not using a whole chicken - legs and thighs)
1 organic onion, diced
1-2 spoonfuls of minced garlic/3-4 cloves, if you're mincing it yourself
1 organic tomato, diced
1-3 spoonfuls of tomato paste
1 can of coconut milk
a spoonful of coconut oil
1C of leftover bone broth (I fill the empty coconut milk can halfway - easy "measuring")
1/2C of cilantro, chopped
Anywhere from a pinch to 2t of the following:
cloves (pinch)
turmeric
ginger
garam masala
salt
red pepper flakes
To Make
I put it all in the crockpot on low and it was ready in under 6 hours. I sautéed some cauli-rice (surprisingly tasty) in coconut oil to serve the deliciousness over. Also, I should mention that I made two batches at once - one for the crockpot and the other in a gallon-sized ziplock bag that I labeled with a sharpie:
Chicken Tikka-ish
Defrost in fridge
Place in crockpot on low, for 6 hours
Serve over veggies, potatoes or cauliflower rice
Now I have an extra dinner that can be used when I'm nursing a birth hangover and don't feel like cooking (but also don't feel like eating junk that will make me feel like a slug). You could use your extra meal on a day when you know you'll be home late and will be in the same boat, or you could save it in your freezer for a healthy, filling postpartum meal!
