Number Of Ingredients 18
Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and, once oil is shimmering, sear both sides of (seasoned) chicken thighs in batches, making sure to let oil heat up again before searing the next batch. Combine coconut milk, dried basil, curry powder, chili powder, and salt and pepper to the slow cooker and stir together until incorporated. Place seared chicken, red onions, jalapeños and garlic to the slow cooker, and stir everything together. Cover slow cooker and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours, or on low for 6 to 8, until chicken is cooked through. Once cooked through, use two forks to shred into small pieces. Create a slurry by whisking cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water in a small bowl or glass. Once smooth, pour slurry, along with fresh ginger, into the slow cooker. Return shredded chicken to the slow cooker, then stir everything together. Cover and cook for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until mixture has thickened. Stir in fresh basil and cilantro, then serve with sticky rice or naan.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut milk instead of light coconut milk.
- If you don't have coconut cream, you can use an equal amount of heavy cream or sour cream.
- For a spicier curry, add 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes or 1 tablespoon of curry powder to the pot.
- If you want to make the curry ahead of time, cook it on low for 4-6 hours, then let it cool completely and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat it over low heat until warmed through.
- Serve the curry over cooked rice, quinoa, or your favorite grain. You can also serve it with naan bread or roti.
Conclusion:
This slow-cooker coconut curry chicken is an easy and delicious weeknight meal. It's made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and it's packed with flavor. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is creamy and flavorful. Serve it over rice or your favorite grain, and you've got a meal that the whole family will love.
