I have been putting my slow cooker to good use ever since I pulled it out of the lower shelf of the corner kitchen cabinet. It does get a little busy in the morning preparing the ingredients but once everything is in the slow cooker, it pretty much takes care of itself. It is comforting to know that dinner is cooking, not to mention the wonderful aroma coming from the pot while I go about the rest of my chores. In the evening closer to dinner time, I just need to cook a pot of rice and dinner is ready. Gotta love that! 🙂

Generally, pork and beef require longer cooking times but chicken cooks fairly quickly. I had thawed out the chicken thighs in the fridge the night before and so they were ready to go. As it has been so cold lately, I thought of a one-pot curry dish to warm up the belly and soul. I partially cooked the chicken by browning it but this step can certainly be omitted if you prefer. It would definitely simplify your preparation but you may have to leave the chicken in the slow cooker for a tad longer.

A one-pot Chicken Curry meal complete with vegetables.

A Simplified One-Pot Chicken Curry Meal

This Slow Cooker Chicken and Vegetable Curry is a simplified and adapted version of the Chicken Curry my Mom and I cook regularly. Traditionally, chicken curry consists only of chicken and potatoes but I wanted a complete one-pot meal. I added the carrots and peas for that purpose. Leave it out if you prefer not to have them in there. I use a lighter coconut milk and not coconut cream because of the longer cooking time in the slow cooker. If you are using the thicker coconut cream from the can, you may want to dilute it. For a thicker consistency in the gravy, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch into the coconut milk.

Chicken and Vegetable Curry cooked in a slow cooker.

A Mild Chicken Curry

In my books, this Slow Cooker Chicken and Vegetable Curry is a relatively mild curry with no additional spices included in the mix even though it looks hot and spicy. Both Ro-Taro and Ro-Jiro can eat this comfortably without breaking into a sweat. 🙂 Serve it with lots of steamed white rice.

Tempting and delicious Slow Cooker Chicken and Vegetable Curry.

Enjoy…..and have a wonderful day! 😎

    What a gorgeous meal! Love the colors of the vegetables and the chicken looks great! I don’t have a slow cooker, but I do braise chicken quite often and browning is a must. I don’t like the color of the chicken otherwise. This looks like a great recipe!

      I love braised dishes and they usually come out delicious. I do it a lot too when I am at home but the slow cooker is great when you are out and about. It takes away the need to “watch” the dish cooking on the stove.

    That does look like a soul warming pot of goodness 🙂 It also reminds me of Japanese curry somehow. Sounds like both a winner and a fantastic time saver!

      It does look like Japanese curry but it is still a little spicier. It makes a wonderful one-pot meal especially on cold evenings.

    Hi Biren! I made this yesterday and it was delicious! However, mine was thicker than your picture with the wonderful juicy sauce. Next time should I just add more coconut milk? Also, what type of curry did you use? Thank you!

      June 19, 2013 at 11:43 pm

      I guess it depends on the type of coconut milk you are using. I know canned coconut milk is much thicker. I usually dilute that with some water. For this recipe, I used coconut milk that comes in cartons which is much lighter.

      For a quick fix, I used premix curry powder from Malaysia. Whatever curry powder you are used too is just fine. 🙂

    Hi Biren,

    I try it out, I think I did not put enough curry powder, and I put too much coconut milk.
    The color is very light, taste is good. Next time, will put more curry powder , I did not measure like your.
    I also over cook by 1 hours, so the chicken meat fall off, still taste very good.
    Thanks,

      I can understand your desire to cook this often. I, too need my curry fix every two weeks or so. Glad you enjoy the recipe. With the veggies, it is an easy one pot meal.
