Slow Cooker Chicken Coconut Curry

I have just put all of the ingredients for this dish into my slow cooker and set it to cook. I love this meal. It is my third time making it so I thought it was about time I shared it with you.  Slow Cooker Chicken Coconut Curry is a recipe I found in a local food market newsletter, but I have altered it somewhat to simplify the ingredient list and the instrucions, so I will share it the way I make it my own kitchen.

I admit it does take a bit of time preparing the ingredients.  But once that is done you just layer it all in the slow cooker and let it simmer. So simple.  Just before I serve it I cook some vegetables to add to the dish.... peas, carrots, green beans, snow peas... whatever you select will work just fine.

And, I like to add a spoonful of plain Greek yogurt to my curry dishes too, just before serving.  It makes a soupy stew really creamy.  Mmmmm.

I do love the aroma of a nice light curry coming from my slow cooker... tantalizing, especially on a gloomy and cool Winter day!

I used chicken breasts here but thighs would be fine too. And if you don't have chicken stock, grab a boullion cube and make some!  I also like a light coconut milk, but if you only have full fat, go ahead and use it... just make the adjustment if you need the nutritional information or Smart Points values for tracking.
