Follow The Directions

01

Step
7 mins

Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add cubed chicken, sliced onions, and minced garlic; brown chicken on all sides until golden, approximately 5-7 minutes.

02

Step
2 mins

While the chicken is browning, in a separate bowl, whisk red curry paste into a portion of the coconut milk until smooth and well combined. This prevents clumping and ensures even distribution of flavor.

03

Step
3 mins

Transfer the coconut curry paste mixture to a slow cooker. Add the remaining coconut milk and water. Incorporate the broccoli florets, diced yellow squash, diced celery, shredded carrot, and diced green chile peppers. Stir in the ground cardamom, garam masala, ground cumin, and ground cinnamon. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

04

Step
1 mins

Introduce the browned chicken mixture into the slow cooker, nestling it amongst the vibrant vegetables and aromatic spices.

05

Step
6 hrs

Cover the slow cooker and let the magic happen. Cook on Low heat for approximately 6 hours, or on High heat for about 4 hours, until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through, no longer pink inside.

Feel free to customize the vegetable medley based on your preferences and seasonal availability. Spinach, zucchini, bell peppers, or even diced sweet potatoes would be delightful additions.
For a richer, more intense flavor, toast the dry spices (cardamom, garam masala, cumin, and cinnamon) in a dry pan over medium heat for 1-2 minutes before adding them to the slow cooker. This awakens their essential oils and elevates the dish.
This Coconut Curry Chicken is incredibly versatile. Serve it as a hearty stew, or ladle it over a bed of fluffy brown rice, quinoa, or couscous for a complete and satisfying meal. A dollop of plain yogurt or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro adds a refreshing touch.
