Instructions

Creating the perfect Slow Cooker Chicken Curry is easy if you follow these straightforward steps:

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: In a skillet, sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger in a bit of oil until they become fragrant and golden. This enhances the flavor.
  3. Mix Spices: Stir in the curry powder, cumin, coriander, and turmeric until well combined. Cook for an additional minute to toast the spices.
  4. Add to Slow Cooker: Transfer the chicken, sautéed mixture, and chopped vegetables (bell pepper and carrots) to the slow cooker.
  5. Pour Liquids: Add the coconut milk and chicken broth into the slow cooker. Stir everything together to ensure the chicken and vegetables are well-coated.
  6. Cook: Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours. The chicken should be tender and easily shredded with a fork.
  7. Final Touch: About 15 minutes before serving, add the peas to the slow cooker, allowing them to heat through.
  8. Taste and Adjust: Taste the curry and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
  9. Shred Chicken (Optional): For a thicker sauce, shred the chicken pieces inside the slow cooker and stir well.
  10. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top just before serving for an extra burst of flavor.

These simple steps will guide you through making an incredible Slow Cooker Chicken Curry that you can fully enjoy.
