SLOW COOKED MADRAS CHICKEN CURRY (CROCK POT)



Slow Cooked Madras Chicken Curry (Crock Pot) image

I do love my crock pot as it continually provides me with tasty and effortless meals. This began as a recipe found on about.com, but the changes are rather substantial so I feel comfortable calling it my own. There are as many ways to prepare curry as there are chefs who enjoy the spice blend which makes me a little apprehensive about posting this recipe. Your results will vary according to the curry powder and chutney selected so please adjust to your own tastes.

Time 4h55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 small onions, finely diced (about 2 cups)
2 garlic cloves, minced (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
1/2 jalapeno, finely diced (about 1/2 tablespoon)
1 tablespoon gingerroot, minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 tablespoons Madras curry powder
3/4 cup mango chutney
1 1/4 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts or 1 1/4 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 granny smith apple, cut into medium to large chunks (I did tenths and halved them)

Steps:

  • Lightly spray the interior of your crock pot with a light coating of cooking spray for easier clean up later.
  • Cover the bottom of pot with the onions, garlic and jalapeƱos. Top with the chicken breasts. (Please make sure the onions are finely chopped as the desired result is to have them melt into the sauce.).
  • Combine the curry powder, chutney, tomato paste and ginger together and pour over the chicken.
  • Place the apples on top.
  • Cook for 4-5 hours on high until the chicken is cooked and tender but not falling apart. Mix the sauce together so that all elements are blended. If you want a thicker sauce, remove the chicken from the crock pot and stir in a teaspoon or two of cornstarch and cook until the sauce is glossy.

SLOW COOKED HONEY CURRY CHICKEN

An adaptation of a recipe from "Dinnertime Easy: Slow Cooker Recipes." I love the combination of spicy, sweet and hot that emerges in this dish, though the flavor will vary based on the type of curry used. Part of why I love this one is that the taste is even better the next day, so it's a great option for those of us in smaller households and cook once and plan for leftovers. As presented this is 5 WW points per serving.

Time 4h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 medium onion, halved and sliced thin
1 lb baby carrots
2 tablespoons grainy brown mustard
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 dash cayenne pepper (optional)
4 (5 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon water
1 1/2 small red peppers, halved and cut into 1/2 inch thick strips

Steps:

  • Place the sliced onions in a thin layer on the bottom of the slow cooker. Scatter the baby carrots on top.
  • Mix together the mustards, honey, curry powder and cayenne together in a bowl. Brush half of the mixture onto the chicken breasts and place the poultry on top of the onions and carrots. Top with the red peppers.
  • Mix the water into the remaining honey mustard mix. Pour over the peppers.
  • Cook on high for 3 1/2 to 4 hours.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For a succulent and flavorful curry, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks. These cuts have more flavor and will stay moist during the slow cooking process.
  • Use a variety of spices: Curry powder is a blend of spices that typically includes turmeric, cumin, coriander, and fenugreek. You can also add other spices to your curry, such as garam masala, ginger, garlic, and chili powder, to taste.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables: Potatoes, carrots, and onions are classic curry vegetables, but you can also add other vegetables, such as bell peppers, tomatoes, and zucchini. Just be sure to cut the vegetables into bite-sized pieces so they cook evenly.
  • Use coconut milk or yogurt to add creaminess: If you want a creamy curry, add coconut milk or yogurt to the pot. These ingredients will help to thicken the sauce and give it a rich, velvety texture.
  • Serve with rice or naan: Curry is traditionally served with rice or naan. Rice is a good option if you want a simple and easy meal, while naan is a great choice if you want something a little more special.

Conclusion:

Slow-cooked curry chicken is a delicious and easy weeknight meal that can be enjoyed by the whole family. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying curry that is sure to impress. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give slow-cooked curry chicken a try. You won't be disappointed!
