Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 piece 1-inch ginger, grated
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 4 golden potatoes cubes
  • 2 large carrots sliced
  • 13.5 ounces coconut milk 1 can
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Optional Toppings:
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Chopped cashews or peanuts

Instructions

  • Whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, curry powder, salt, pepper, garlic, and ginger in the slow cooker.
  • Add the chicken breasts, potatoes, and carrots to the slow cooker and stir to coat in the sauce.
  • Cover and cook for 3-4 hours on a low or 4-6 hours on high.
  • Uncover and stir in the coconut milk.
  • To thicken the curry, combine 2 tablespoons flour with 2 tablespoons water in a small dish.
  • Stir in the flour mixture.
  • Turn the slow cooker to high, cover with lid, and cook for another 15-30 minutes.
  • Give the curry a good stir. If the consistency is still thin, turn off the slow cooker, and let the curry sit for a few minutes.
  • Finish with a few squeezes of lime juice.
  • Sprinkle with fresh cilantro, and chopped cashews or peanuts.
  • Serve with basmati rice and naan.

Notes

  1. Cut the chicken into similar size chunks so that it cooks through evenly.
  2. If you prefer your curries on the spicy side, you can add in some red chili peppers, chili flakes or some cayenne.
  3. Feel free to add in additional veggies like peas or mushrooms if you like.
