4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
1 can coconut milk (400 ml)
1 can tomato paste (170 g)
1 tbsp coconut flour
2 tsp garam masala
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp dried coriander
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp cumin
1 generous pinch salt

4 cups steamed greens of choice or fresh salad leaves
Method
Place all ingredients into a slow cooker. Stir to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.
Once chicken is falling apart and easily shredded with a fork, stir through the coconut yoghurt.
Serve with cauliflower rice and steamed greens or fresh salad greens.
A dash of coconut aminos or tamari is great to finish this dish off too before eating!
Notes
The chicken can also be cut lengthways or chopped into a few larger chunks if they are very thick breasts which will slightly reduce cooking time!
