Chicken Curry in the Slow Cooker

You’ve got to love a good crockpot meal. Especially one that tends to make enough that there are plenty of leftovers for lunch! This one is super easy to make, budget friendly, and really yummy!

This isn’t a spicy dish, unless you use hot salsa.  The coconut milk cools the heat and makes it creamy.

 

Chicken Curry in the Crockpot

Ingredients

  • 3-4 lbs of Chicken Thighs
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 3 tbsp of Curry
  • 1 can of coconut milk - unsweetened
  • 16 oz of salsa (whatever heat you like - I use Medium)

Instructions

  1. Put the chicken thighs down on the bottom of the crockpot.
  2. Mix the chopped onion, salsa, curry, and the salt/pepper.
  3. Pour the sauce mixture over the top and cook for 4 hours on high or 8 highs on low.
  4. When it's finished cooking, just pull the chicken out and place on a platter. Then you will pour in the coconut milk in the crockpot and mix well.
  5. Serve the chicken with the sauce over the top. I like to serve with rice on the side.

    I’ve never cooked anything curry before but this sounds yummy! Are you referring to curry powder in your recipe or some other form?

    • RachaelW says:

      Hi Kyra, yes it’s the curry in powder form. I hope you enjoy the recipe. Let me know what you think! This is a staple at our house. Even my 3 year old eats it!

        Thanks! I made this for dinner last night and it was delish! I have to admit I was unsure about the salsa component, but it was really good. My husband especially enjoyed it and requested it be put on the “list” (of dinner options). The only change I made was to puree the sauce using my immersion blender (I have an aversion to all those veggie chunks in the salsa and from the onions – it’s a texture thing). About 30 minutes prior to completion, I removed the thighs from the crockpot, immersed the blender, did a quick puree and then added the thighs back in for the final cook time. It was so good! Thanks!!

          Thanks so much for updating the comment thread. I’m glad to hear you guys liked it. Great feedback on the sauce. I will try that out next time I make this dish. Hope you have a great week Kyra!
