Slow Cooker Rotel Chicken Soup

by

Slow Cooker Rotel Chicken Soup, heyyyyy-ya.

Slow cooker soups are one of the greatest things to ever exist. I mean, who doesn’t love walking in the door after a busy day to a big pot of delicious soup and not to mention the yummy aroma filling the room? I know I do. My initial plan for this soup was to make my good ole white Chili recipe, but I randomly decided to add some black beans, which led to a can of corn, followed by a can of rotel, pickeld Jalepeños, etc. etc. I.couldn’t.stop.

The result, however, was straight up deliciousness. It’s like a white chili chicken tortilla soup on steroids. Simply throw everything but the beans, corn, and jalepenos into your crock before zipping out of the door. The chicken will shred perfectly when you get home, and all you’ll have to do is add in those last few items, and bowl it up!

Crockpot Chicken Tikka Masala

by

For some reason, I’ve always been a little hesitant to make my own Indian Food, but after whipping up this Crockpot Chicken Tikka Masala, I can confidently say– ALL.. okay, (most) of my fears have gone away.  I tend to bring the crock pot out during the busiest of weeks, and I’m always amazed at how much easier it makes my life.  This meal is seriously so easy and since it has all of the time in the world to soak in the pool of sauce, the chicken is extra tender and the sauce is loaded with all the delicious indian flavors.  SO good. For reals.

Chicken Tikka Masala Instant Pot Crock Pot

THIS POST CONTAINS AN AFFILIATE LINK FOR THESE ECO FRIENDLY AND AMAZING COCONUT BOWLS.

This recipe now has Slow Cooker AND Instant Pot Instructions, so take your pick!  If you don’t have either, you can use a large skillet and follow the same instructions. Just make sure to simmer long enough for the chicken to cook all the way through. If you are using a crock pot or instant pot and have time to chop up the chicken ahead of time and marinate in the greek yogurt, I would highly recommend it! It makes the chicken really tender and cuts down on some of the prep time later, but absolutely no worries if you don’t have time for that.

This meal is absolutely perfect for busy weeknight dinners, or even Sunday night meal prep as it will last in the fridge for up to 4 days. Just make sure to store the rice and chicken separately.  I like to serve this dish in my all-time favorite Coconut Bowls, which I also use for smoothie bowls, soups, and so much more.  They really are the best! Feel free to serve this dish with cauliflower rice in place of the jasmine rice for a low-carb option.  It’s so delicious either way!

Hopefully you enjoy this hearty dish as much as we do!
