A delicious medium spiced tomato based chicken curry curry, cooked with light coconut milk and perfectly blended spices. The slow cooker does the work and you return home to a wonderful and luscious dinner

Easy Slow Cooker chicken curry recipe
We love this Crock pot chicken curry here, love it! and it’s so easy and what’s better than arriving home after a day at work or at the weekend when you’re out enjoying yourselves, to a delicious pot full of tender fragrant chicken curry and a house that smells amazing. It couldn’t be simpler
It hands down beats a takeaway in my humble opinion, it’s healthy ish too!
I like to call it a fakeaway
What Chicken should I use for my curry?

How long should I cook my chicken curry in the slow cooker?
This recipe is perfect after 6 hours on a low setting.
The meat is tender and literally falls apart – it’s so delicious

If you like a little sweetness – try stirring through a tablespoon of mango chutney. I don’t feel I need it but if you do, go ahead
What to serve with your Chicken Curry
So many ideas!!

- On a baked potato / jacket potato

Yes you can, it’s perfect for batch cooking for this purpose
Please freeze in sealed containers, label them up (don’t forget to date them) and eat within a couple of months
