Tikki Masala with Cauliflower Rice

In my never ending search for easy, low carb recipes, I happened across this one in a whole 30 cookbook.  Loved it.  It's so nice that I can make it in the crockpot.  Simple and delicious.  I just buy the already frozen cauliflower rice that you steam in the microwave, so it literally is a simple, healthy weeknight meal!




Tikki Masala with Cauliflower Rice

Ingredients:
1 - 1 1/2 pounds chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 large red bell pepper, seeded, cored and cut into bite sized pieces
1/2 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 TBSP. fresh ginger
3 TBSP tomato paste
1 TBSP. garam masala
1 TBSP mild curry powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 cup coconut milk (shake can before opening)
1 TBSP. fresh lemon juice
1 bag (16oz) frozen cauliflower rice
Fresh cilantro, optional

Directions:

In crockpot, combine the chicken, bell pepper, onion, garlic, ginger, tomato paste, garam masala, curry powder, salt and black pepper.  Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4 hours.

Stir in the coconut milk and lemon juice.  Cook until heated through, about 15 minutes.

Serve over cauliflower rice and top with cilantro.
