Crockpot Chicken Tikka Masala Pasta

Dish type: lunch

Serves: 8

Ingredients


  • 2 large chicken breasts, cooked and diced
  • 3 cups of uncooked elbow macaroni
  • 1 400ml jar Patak's Tikka Masala sauce
  • 400 ml of milk

Directions


Cook pasta in boiling water for 3 minutes, then remove from heat and drain pasta.Combine sauce and milk in the crockpot, mixing thoroughly.Add in the macaroni and the chicken breast, combining.Cook on low for 2-3 hours, stirring every once in a while, until the pasta is cooked fully and the sauce is absorbed.Now, a couple very important things.Don't over cook the pasta. You are simply starting the process by boiling it three minutes to kickstart it. You will have a glompy mess of pasta if you don't listen to me.Stirring it helps keep the top from getting dried out.IF you think it's too dry, add a wee bit more milk. This will depend on the pasta type that you use, 400ml was perfect for me, but do not be afraid to use a little milk after you can see how the noodles are doing.
