2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
6 red potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 cups carrots, cut into bite-size chunks
1 cup mixed red, yellow, and orange bell peppers, cut into bite-sized chunks
2 onions, cut into chunks
4 tablespoons Thai red curry paste (such as Maesri Masaman Curry®)
1 tablespoon fresh ginger paste (such as Gourmet Garden™)
2 teaspoons lemongrass paste (such as Gourmet Garden™)
2 (14 ounce) cans coconut milk, divided
2 cups chicken stock, such as (Kitchen Basics®)
¼ cup peanut butter
4 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons fish sauce, or more to taste
2 tablespoons brown sugar, or more to taste
1 cup dry roasted peanuts, chopped, divided
6 cups cooked jasmine rice

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet. Add chicken pieces in batches, cooking until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Place browned chicken in the bottom of a slow cooker. Place potatoes, carrots, and bell peppers on top of the meat in the slow cooker.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet and add onion. Cook until soft and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add to slow cooker.

Pour in 1 can coconut milk; reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer until reduced by half, about 10 minutes.

  • Set slow cooker to Low and cook until vegetables are tender and chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 4 to 6 hours.
  • 20 minutes before serving season with lemon juice, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped peanuts. Serve with hot cooked rice and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup of peanuts.

2 russet potatoes (about 1 pound), peeled and cut into large chunks
3 small skinless, bone-in chicken leg-and-thigh quarters (12 to 14 ounces each)
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
2 teaspoons Madras curry powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 serrano chile pepper, roughly chopped (remove seeds for less heat)
1 15-ounce can tomato sauce
2 tablespoons tomato paste

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.

Categories     Curries

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 jalapeños. 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 CHICKEN CURRY



Slow Cooked Chicken Curry image

Ran out of curry powder recently and replaced it not once but twice. My surplus of this spice blend sent me in a hunt for ways to enjoy my bounty. This is a reduced fat adaptation of a recipe from BHG. I just love slow cooker recipes for the ease of dump and run cooking. This one is a bit more involved since you need to prepare the lighter substitute for coconut milk. If you are not concerned about fat or calories, feel free to use regular or light coconut milk instead. A wonderful, rich flavored curry for just 5 WW points that is even better the next day.
