Follow The Directions
01
Step
Combine all ingredients in a 6-quart or larger slow cooker. (5 minutes)
02
Step
Stir well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the spices and coconut milk. (2 minutes)
03
Step
Cover and cook on High for 2-3 hours, or on Low for 4-6 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a chicken piece should read at least 165°F (74°C). (See notes). (1 minute)
04
Step
Remove and discard the bay leaves and cinnamon stick before serving. (1 minute)
05
Step
Serve hot over cooked rice or naan bread, garnished with fresh cilantro and a dollop of sour cream or plain yogurt. (2 minutes)
For a richer flavor, lightly brown the chicken pieces in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. This step is optional but adds depth to the curry.
If you prefer a spicier curry, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a finely chopped chili pepper to the slow cooker.
Adjust cooking time depending on your slow cooker. Check the chicken periodically to ensure it doesn't overcook and become dry.
For a smoother sauce, you can use an immersion blender to lightly blend the curry after removing the bay leaves and cinnamon stick. Be careful not to over-blend.
