Slow Cooker Indian Chicken Stew
with Spinach and Rice

Ingredients you will need for this recipe:

The original recipe is for 8 servings, so we cut it in half. Also it calls for boneless thighs, but too keep our meal in our budget, I added boneless breast instead. Walmart sells boneless thighs for $0.53 more per lb. compared to the breasts. If you want to stick with the thighs, your meal will cost a little more.
