Slow Cooker Coconut Curry Chicken


I totally thought I had posted about this already. Oops!


Look at that delicious little montage!

I swear this is out of order and I made this ages ago...

There was actually no method to go along with the ingredients of this recipe. However, there was a picture of a bunch of stuff in a food processor. I was skeptical at first until I realized I didn't need to chop the shallot and garlic. Wahoo!

Spoiler alert: Mom cut up and put the chicken in. (I hate touching raw meat)


Magical color changing sauce!


Now with peas!



OK this was not a bad "recipe". It was kind of like a light butter chicken with no butter and coconut instead. I actually might try putting a little cream in it next time. Not as coconut-y as I thought it was going to be, which is good or bad depending on your feelings of coconut. I might even want to use the whole onion the recipe called for. Obviously the most frustrating part of this recipe was that there wasn't really a recipe. So we were guessing for the most part. The biggest "guess" in this recipe was when to add the cornstarch. We thought it was probably a thickening ingredient so we added it close to the end of the cook time, maybe with about 15 minutes to go. Anyway it definitely made for a nice "Indian" dinner that you can set and forget.  It's probably not my favorite, but easy and yummy enough to put in the rotation. 

Stuck to the script: 100%?  except for I used a shallot instead of an onion. Obviously. Shallots are awesome. Hard to tell when there's no instructions!
