Healthy Chicken Tikka Masala

I like to include turmeric recipes into my meals at least a couple of times a week. Turmeric is an important addition to a healthy diet because the anti-inflammatory antioxidants in turmeric support brain health and may reduce the risk of chronic disease. Turmeric also has antiviral properties and adds a wonderful flavor to recipes. This Healthy Chicken Tikka Masala is the perfect turmeric-containing recipe to add to your regular meals. Simply cook this healthy chicken tikka masala in the slow cooker and then pair it with this Brown Rice with Turmeric Recipe. Yum, you have a nourishing and delicious family dinner.

Healthy Chicken Tikka Masala Recipe

Serves: 8

Ingredients

2 cups no sugar added tomato sauce (I like Muir Glen No sugar and No salt added tomato sauce)
1 cup onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 Tablespoon Turmeric
1 cup scallions, chopped
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 pound boneless, skinnless chicken breast, thawed

Instructions

Add all ingredients to a large slow cooker.
Cook in the slow cooker for 4 to 6 hours.
Stir ingredients and break up chicken when the chicken is tender.

*Serve over rice. I like serving this Chickpea Veggie Tikka Masala over this Brown Rice with Turmeric recipe. To make the Brown rice with Turmeric recipe vegan, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
