This Real Simple slow cooker dish that I slightly modified was a very tasty dinner and it only took about 15 minutes to prepare.  I served it over quinoa, but white or brown rice works as well.  An absolutely perfect weekday meal!

Curried Chicken with Ginger and Yogurt

1 can of tomato paste
5 cloves of chopped garlic
2 tablespoons of curry powder
1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon of cumin
1 chopped medium onion
2 pounds of boneless chicken breasts (salt and pepper)
1/2 cup of plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
2 scallions - thinly sliced
quinoa

In the slow cooker, whisk together the tomato paste, garlic, curry powder, ginger, cumin and 1 cup of water.
Add the onions and stir.
Place the seasoned chicken on top and cover and cook on low for 7 - 8 hours or on high for 3 - 4 hours.
Just before serving, add the yogurt and about 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the sauce and stir.
Serve over quinoa and sprinkle with scallions.
