slow cooker coconut curry chicken

Okay everyone, I found an amazing recipe! 

This meal is magic and let me tell you why:

1. It's healthy- most important. Uses so many vegetables!
2. It's fast- also important if you're life is anything like mine.
3. It involves many things you probably already have lying around... the three main "exotic" ingredients you'd need to get are coconut milk, curry powder, and garam masala spic mix. (To be honest, I left out the garam masala because I couldn't find it... and you couldn't even tell a difference)
4. It freezes extremely well- and for the two of us, it lasts 2-3 meals.
5. Your house will smell d i v i n e

Perfect college-student-trying-to-eat-healthy-meal, right? Let me know how you like it!

Slow Cooker Coconut Curry Chicken

Serves: 6

Ingredients

2 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs, cut into cubes

5 large carrots, peeled and diced

1 medium onion, peeled and quartered

2 cloves garlic, peeled

1 large bell pepper, seeded and chopped (I used a green pepper)

1 (5 oz) can tomato paste

1 (14 oz) can coconut milk

1 1/2 tsp salt

1 tbsp curry powder

1 tbsp garam masala

1 jalapeno, seeded and halved OR 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

2 tbsp water

1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions
Grease your slow cooker with Pam. Place the chicken and carrots on the bottom of slow cooker.

Place the rest of the ingredients (except water and corn starch) in a food processor and process together until mixture is mostly smooth. ***If your food processor is too small to hold everything, process everything but the coconut milk. Transfer mixture to a medium bowl then mix in the coconut milk.

Pour the sauce over the chicken and carrots, mix well, then cover and cook on low for about 6 hours.

An hour or so before serving, mix cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until cornstarch is dissolved. Pour mixture into the slow cooker, stir to combine, and continue cooking for another hour. **This will thicken up the sauce. When the sauce is to your desired thickness, turn slow cooker to warm setting until ready to serve.

Serve over rice, with Naan, and garnish with cilantro.

Yum. Enjoy!
