Ingredients Needed
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped (or frozen, pre-prepared)
- 2 tsp fresh ginger, peeled and grated (or ready-prepared paste)
- 3 tbsp medium curry powder
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 100g (1/3 cup) mango chutney
- 400ml (1 2/3 cups) reduced-fat coconut milk
- 1 large onion, peeled and very finely chopped (frozen ready-prepared is fine)
- 1 kg (2.2 lbs) boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 tsp garam masala
How To Make Chicken Curry Slow Cooker
- Add Ingredients to Slow Cooker: Place all ingredients except the garam masala into the slow cooker. Stir well to combine.
- Cook: Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for at least 6 hours.
- Finish with Garam Masala: When the chicken is tender and easily shredded, use two forks to shred it gently. Stir in the garam masala, mixing thoroughly until everything is well-coated in the sauce.
Recipe Tips
- Use Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs: Thighs stay juicy and tender in slow cooking. Avoid using breasts as they can dry out.
- Finely Chop the Onion: A finely chopped onion blends into the sauce better, adding flavor without large pieces.
- Don’t Skip the Mango Chutney: This adds a subtle sweetness that balances the spices perfectly.
- Add Garam Masala at the End: Stirring it in at the end enhances the curry’s aroma and depth without overpowering it.
How To Store And Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: First, the leftover chicken curry cool to room temperature. Transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Once cooled, place the chicken curry in a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 3 months. To serve, thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
- Reheat: Place the chicken curry in a pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, and heat until it’s hot and steamy, about 5-10 minutes.
