This slow cooker chicken tikka lets boneless chicken breast turn fork-tender in a fragrant tomato-spice sauce finished with tangy Greek yogurt. It delivers restaurant flavor with almost no hands-on time.

- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Layer the diced onion in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Place the chicken pieces on top of the onion in an even layer.
- Whisk together the crushed tomatoes, garlic, ginger, garam masala, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the spice-tomato mixture over the chicken and stir gently to coat.
- Cover and cook on Low for 4 hours (or High for 2 hours) until the chicken is tender.
- Stir in the Greek yogurt during the last 15 minutes for a creamy finish.
