- Chicken: You could substitute chicken breasts, but only cook for 2-3 hours on LOW.
- Low Carb or Macro Variation: Serve the chicken over cauliflower rice or cooked spaghetti squash.
- Storing Instructions: leftover crockpot chicken tikka masala will keep in the refrigerator for 3-5 days, depending on the freshness of the chicken.
- Freezing Instructions: Place in a freezer safe container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then rewarm on the stove before serving. For a slow cooker freezer meal, freeze raw chicken and sauce ingredients (not coconut milk) in a freezer safe bag, then thaw overnight before adding to crockpot to cook.
