CROCK POT CHICKEN VINDALOO (WW 5 PTS. PER SERVING)

Crock Pot Chicken Vindaloo (Ww 5 Pts. Per Serving) image

From a Weight Watcher's Crock Pot cookbook. I haven't tried it yet but copied from my friend's book. The recipe states that Vindaloo is a spicy Indian curry usually made with lamb, but chicken is equally delicious. Prepared curry paste can be very spicy, so start with the minimum amount; then, when the dish is done, taste the broth and add the remaining paste if desired. *Any frozen vegetable blend will work with the recipe as long as there are no sauces or butter added.
