For a richer flavor, brown the chicken pieces in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. This will add an extra layer of complexity to the dish. Adjust the amount of jalapeño pepper to suit your desired level of spiciness. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for extra heat. If you don't have fresh ginger on hand, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of ground ginger. For a vegetarian version, replace the chicken with cubed paneer cheese or chickpeas. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
