Categories Chicken

Time 7h30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

8 bone-in chicken thighs
2 tsp olive oil
6 carrots, cut in 2-inch chunks
1 medium sweet onion, cut in wedges
1 c unsweetened coconut milk
1/4 c mild (or hot) curry paste.....your choice
OPTIONAL: CHOPPED PISTACHIOS, GOLDEN RAISINS, CILANTRO AND/OR CRUSHED RED PEPPER FLAKES

Steps:

1. Trim excess skin and fat from chicken. In a 12-inch skillet cook chicken, skin side down, in hot olive oil for 8 minutes, or until browned. (Do not turn thighs). Remove from heat; drain and discard fat.
2. In a slow cooker combine carrots and onion. In a bowl, whisk together half of the coconut milk and the curry paste; pour over carrots and onion (refrigerate remaining coconut milk). Place chicken, skin side up, on vegetables. Cook on HIGH for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, or on LOW for 7 to 8 hours.
3. Remove chicken to platter. Skim off excess fat, then stir in remaining coconut milk. Top each serving with your choice of pistachios, raisins, cilantro, and/or crushed red pepper flakes. Enjoy!

Tips:

Use a heavy bottom pot or Dutch oven for even heat distribution and to prevent sticking.

Choose a curry powder that you enjoy. There are many different brands and flavors available, so experiment until you find one that you like.

If you don't have curry powder, you can make your own by combining ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, fenugreek, ginger, garlic, and chili powder.

Brown the chicken before adding it to the stew. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the chicken from becoming dry.

Use low sodium chicken broth to avoid the stew becoming too salty.

Add vegetables that you enjoy. Some popular choices include carrots, potatoes, peas, and corn.

Simmer the stew for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.

Serve the stew over rice or noodles.

Conclusion:

Curried chicken stew is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold night. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
