Ingredients:
- 3 Chicken breast
- 3 tomatoes or 1 can of crushed tomatoes
- 1/3 cup of tomato sauce
- 1 onion
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 1 inch of ginger root
- 2 tbs of garam masala
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper (freshly ground if possible)
- 1/2 cup cilantro
- 1/3 cup 2% milk
Directions: Chop up onion, garlic, and tomatoes (if using fresh) and add to crock pot.
Since I was using fresh tomatoes, I crushed them in the pot with a masher. Then I added the tomato sauce, garam masala, salt and pepper and mixed them up in the pot. 
( Salt and pepper addition not pictured)
Then I added the chicken breasts to the pot.
Then I put it on high (because I was getting hungry!) and let it be for 4 hours. At three hours you can open it up and shred the chicken with two forks. Add a little more sauce if you'd like and more pepper or salt to taste if you'd like.
Once it was done it looked like this.
I then cooked it up on the pan to cook to then in turn eat it quicker. I added some milk and let it heat on the pan for about 4-5 minutes until it thickened a little.
Then it was ready to eat! I served it with some veggies :)
It was deeeeeelicious!! Definitely Chicken Delisha masala.
