SLOW COOKER BASIL CHICKEN AND COCONUT CURRY RECIPE - (3.7/5)



Slow Cooker Basil Chicken And Coconut Curry Recipe - (3.7/5) image

Provided by MJH

Number Of Ingredients 18

COCONUT CURRY:
2 pounds skinless chicken thighs
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra as needed
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
2 (13.5-ounce) cans coconut milk
2 tablespoons dried basil
1 1/2 tablespoons yellow curry powder
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 red onion, finely chopped
2 jalapeños, ribs and seeds removed, finely chopped
6 to 8 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1/2 cup fresh Thai basil, chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
naan or coconut rice

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and, once oil is shimmering, sear both sides of (seasoned) chicken thighs in batches, making sure to let oil heat up again before searing the next batch. Combine coconut milk, dried basil, curry powder, chili powder, and salt and pepper to the slow cooker and stir together until incorporated. Place seared chicken, red onions, jalapeños and garlic to the slow cooker, and stir everything together. Cover slow cooker and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours, or on low for 6 to 8, until chicken is cooked through. Once cooked through, use two forks to shred into small pieces. Create a slurry by whisking cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water in a small bowl or glass. Once smooth, pour slurry, along with fresh ginger, into the slow cooker. Return shredded chicken to the slow cooker, then stir everything together. Cover and cook for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until mixture has thickened. Stir in fresh basil and cilantro, then serve with sticky rice or naan.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help the cooking process go smoothly.
  • Choose the Right Chicken: For this recipe, boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best. They cook quickly and evenly in the slow cooker.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Slow Cooker: Make sure there is enough space for the chicken and vegetables to cook evenly. If the slow cooker is too crowded, the food will not cook properly.
  • Use Fresh Vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your curry the best flavor. If you don't have fresh vegetables on hand, frozen vegetables can also be used.
  • Adjust the Spice Level: The amount of curry powder and cayenne pepper can be adjusted to taste. If you like a milder curry, use less curry powder and cayenne pepper. If you like a spicier curry, use more.
  • Serve with Rice or Naan: Coconut curry chicken is traditionally served with rice or naan. However, it can also be served with other sides, such as quinoa, noodles, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

This slow cooker coconut curry chicken is an easy and delicious weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and is sure to be a hit with the whole family. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight.
