Step-by-Step Instructions for Slow Cooker Chicken Curry

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, curry powder, ground cumin, and ground coriander. Brown the chicken on all sides for about 5-7 minutes.
  • Transfer the browned chicken to the slow cooker, keeping the skillet drippings.
  • Pour in coconut milk and diced tomatoes, then scatter chopped onion, carrots, and bell peppers on top. Stir gently to combine.
  • Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours until the chicken is tender.
  • Remove chicken, shred, and return it to the slow cooker, mixing it into the sauce and vegetables.
  • Serve over warm rice or with naan and enjoy!

Notes

For best results, brown the chicken well before transferring to enhance flavor. Leftovers can be stored for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
