Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2-2 lbs chicken breasts (bones okay if you want them in there for the flavor) or 1 1/2-2 lbs chicken thighs, skinless (bones okay if you want them in there for the flavor)
3/4 cup coconut milk
1 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons tomato paste
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon ground ginger
4 -6 tablespoons curry powder (increase or decrease to taste)
2 bell peppers, chopped into 1 cubes (any color)
1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
salt and pepper, to taste
1 dash red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Cut chicken pieces in half or quarters (not cubed, just cut up enough to make it all fit in the crockpot).

  • Add in peppers, chicken, and broth.
  • Mix all ingredients together to completely cover the chicken in the curry mixture.
  • Cover and cook at low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours.

Tips:

  • Select the Right Chicken: Choose boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for a leaner option. You can also use bone-in chicken for a richer, more flavorful curry.
  • Marinate the Chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of yogurt, spices, and herbs enhances its flavor and keeps it moist during cooking.
  • Use Fresh Spices: Freshly ground spices provide a more vibrant flavor compared to pre-ground ones. If possible, use whole spices and grind them just before cooking.
  • Sauté the Aromatics: Sautéing onions, garlic, and ginger in oil or butter releases their flavors and forms the base of the curry.
  • Add Vegetables: Incorporate vegetables like carrots, potatoes, bell peppers, or peas for a more colorful and nutritious curry.
  • Use Good Quality Coconut Milk: Opt for full-fat coconut milk for a creamy and rich texture. You can also use a combination of coconut milk and water to adjust the consistency.
  • Simmer the Curry: Simmering the curry allows the flavors to meld and deepen. Cook the curry until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve with Rice or Bread: Brazilian chicken curry pairs well with steamed rice, roti, or naan bread.
