    Um, yeah. I just made this for dinner tonight and it was AH-MAZE-ING. This is definitely my new favorite slow cooker recipe! Before this it was my three bean chili, but the tandoori chicken totally just kicked its butt. This one’s a keeper according to the whole family (husbeast and 10 month old).
