Categories     Slow Cooker

Time 2h5m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 1/2 to 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/3 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon pepper, or to taste
1 cup orange marmalade
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 to 1 teaspoon ground ginger, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, lightly toasted if desired (add to a dry skillet and cook over medium heat for about 30 seconds or until fragrant)
2 tablespoons green onions, sliced thin for garnishing
orange slices, optional for garnishing

Steps:

  • Line a 3 to 6-quart slow cooker with a liner if using one. I prefer to use liners for easy cleanup.
  • Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over bottom of the liner or slow cooker.
  • To a large, gallon-sized ziptop plastic bag, add the chicken, cornstarch, salt, pepper, seal bag, and toss to coat chicken evenly. Add chicken to slow cooker, evenly distributed; set aside.
  • To a 2-cup measuring cup or medium bowl, add the orange marmalade, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, ginger (I prefer 1 teaspoon but some people are sensitive to ginger), garlic, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and stir to combine.
  • Pour mixture over the chicken, using a spoon to distribute the sauce as necessary, making sure all pieces are coated.
  • Cook covered on high for about 2 hours or on low for about 4 hours. If cooking on high, start checking at 90 minutes and if cooking on low, start checking at 3 hours. All slow cookers vary so cook until chicken is done (reaches 165F on an instant read thermometer).
  • Add chicken to a plate with as much extra cooking sauce spooned over the top as desired, garnish with sesame seeds, green onions, optional orange wedges, and serve immediately.

EASY SLOW COOKER CHICKEN CURRY WITH POTATOES AND COCONUT MILK



Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Curry with Potatoes and Coconut Milk image

A super simple mild curry for the slow cooker. If you have cashews, they taste great sprinkled on top afterwards. Feel free to spice it up to your liking. I keep it mild so my kids will eat it, too. You don't need to saute anything in advance, everything just goes in the slow cooker as is. I serve it over rice.

Tips:

  • Prep the Sweet Potato Pilaf First: While the chicken is cooking in the crock pot, use that time to prepare the sweet potato pilaf. This will ensure that both the chicken and pilaf are ready at the same time.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Crock Pot: Make sure to leave some space between the chicken thighs in the crock pot. Overcrowding can prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Use a Good Quality Orange Marmalade: The orange marmalade is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a marmalade that is made with real oranges and has a nice, tangy flavor.
  • Serve with a Side of Vegetables: This dish pairs well with a side of roasted vegetables, such as broccoli, carrots, or zucchini.

Conclusion:

This crock pot orange curry chicken with sweet potato pilaf is an easy and delicious weeknight meal. The chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender and the pilaf is fluffy and flavorful. The orange marmalade adds a bright and tangy flavor to the dish. This recipe is sure to please the whole family.
