Crockpot Chicken Tikka Masala With Cauliflower and Peas

Weight Watchers Recipe of the Day: Crock Pot Chicken Tikka Masala
(229 calories | 5 4 4 myWW *SmartPoints value per serving)

I enjoy eating Indian food every once in a while.

But the thought of cooking it from scratch totally intimidates me.

Most of the recipes seem really complicated with long lists of unusual spices, like garam masala, that aren't part of my pantry.

So, to keep things super simple, I decided to cheat and make an easy crock pot chicken tikka masala...

Easy Crock Pot Chicken Tikka Masala

using a jar of Patak's Tikka Masala Curry Sauce (affiliate link) that I had picked up on sale at World Market.

The Skinny on Crock Pot Chicken Tikka Masala

It's all natural with a straight-forward list of ingredients and nothing artificial, which is nice.

Pataks CrockPot Chicken Tikka Masala Sauce

With only 2-ingredients, recipes don't get much simpler than this easy crockpot chicken tikka masala.

Served with rice and peas, it makes a yummy quick-fix Indian meal with minimal effort.

The sauce is mildly spicy, with rich tomatoey flavor. Rod, Mom and I all thought it was good.

If you want, you can stir in a little 2-3 tablespoons of yogurt, sour cream or coconut milk at the end to make the sauce a little creamier and less tomatoey.

Or bulk it up with vegetables (onion, cauliflower, potatoes and/or peas) like the brilliant Martha C. suggests in her comment below 🙂

According to my calculations, each serving has about 229 calories and:

5 *SmartPoints (Green plan)
