Slow Cooker Pulled Chicken Tikka Masala

Syn free!

Serves 4

Ingredients:

4 large chicken breasts, fat removed

200ml fat free natural yoghurt

6 tablespoons tikka masala curry powder

Juice of one lime

½ a pint of chicken stock

2 tablespoons syn free tomato puree
chopped chilli (if you like the heat)

Method:

Mix fat free yoghurt, 4 tablespoons of curry powder and juice of your lime in a bowl

Chicken Tikka marinade

 Tip marinated chicken into the slow cooker.  Make up your chicken stock (I use a stock pot) and add the tomato puree, give a stir until it’s blended and then gently pour into slow cooker, being careful not to wash the marinade off the chicken.  I added a finely cut green chilli, depends on what you like to whether you want to add it.

I made 1/2 chicken tikka and 1/2 fajita chicken!

Cook on low for 6-7 hours.  

After abut 3 - 4 hours

Shred chicken using two forks, put in a bowl with cooking liquid and serve immediately with rice. You can choose not to add the sauce, the chicken is lovely and moist and is great in a salad or on it's own cold at a picnic.  It's really good 'picky' food!
