I’ve wanted to make a Slow Cooker Chicken Curry for months now. If you know me I love easy recipes. So I made a super easy Chicken Curry, just a jar of curry sauce, and a pound of cubed up raw chicken, on low for 8 hours. How easy is that?
The Brand of Curry sauce I used was “Patak’s”, I used the Mild Curry, but they have so many to choose from, Mango Curry, Tikka Marsala, Butter Chicken Curry, Hot and Spicy, I can’t wait to try the others!
The sauce was amazing! After the sauce cooked all day with the chicken, the sauce was still thick and creamy. I served the Slow Cooker Chicken Curry over rice, with veggies on the side. I thought about adding veggies to the slow cooker, but I didn’t want my chicken curry to turn into a soup, or the veggies to turn mushy, so I just steamed some squash on the side.
- 1 Pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, cut into 1 inch cubes
- 1 15 ounce jar Patak's Simmer Sauce (any kind that sounds good, I used Mild Curry)
- Cooked Rice for serving
- Steamed Veggies for serving
- Cilantro for serving
- Add Chicken and Sauce to your Slow Cooker.
- Cook on LOW for 8 hours.
- Serve over rice, top with cilantro, with steamed veggies on the side.
That is one easy recipe that even the most novice cook could make, i like the way you think and will be getting out my slow cooker as soon as possible.
With my slow cooker, 8 hours was too long. It was 4 hours on low, 4 hours on warm. 8 hours made the chicken too dry to eat. 6 hours low, 2 hours warm it was edible but still too dry. But the butter chicken done this way is really good.
Slow cooker + almost any meat + almost any sauce = supper!
Try this with chicken thighs! Stays really moist. Game changer! 🙂
Thanks for the tip. I’ll give that a shot next time I do slow cooker chicken recipes. The most recent time I tried this was 2 hours slow cooker on low, 6 on warm and it was OK but a touch dry. Did it in a wok and 30 minutes I had supper. Will try thigh next time I do this though.
I agree with Sarah. All the “real” Indian cooks seem to use dark meat, saying it is tastier and moister.
