Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Curry with Potatoes and Coconut Milk image

A super simple mild curry for the slow cooker. If you have cashews, they taste great sprinkled on top afterwards. Feel free to spice it up to your liking. I keep it mild so my kids will eat it, too. You don't need to saute anything in advance, everything just goes in the slow cooker as is. I serve it over rice.

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.

COCONUT CURRY CHICKEN IN THE SLOW COOKER



Coconut Curry Chicken in the Slow Cooker image

This is how we clean out the vegetable bin! You can add pretty much any veggies that you like to this red coconut curry. We've made this with shrimp instead of chicken, added apples, used spinach and zucchini... Have fun! Also, the seasoning quantities are on the "light" side. If you like your seasonings as we do, double them! It's the seasonings and coconut milk that make it. This can be served as a soup/stew, or with brown rice (our fave!), or quinoa.
