Description

A cozy slow cooker curry made with tender chicken, creamy coconut milk, green curry paste, vegetables, lime, and fresh cilantro, served over jasmine rice.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 2 cans full-fat coconut milk, 13.5 ounces each
  • 3 tablespoons Thai green curry paste
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half moons
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 4 cups cooked jasmine rice

Instructions

  1. Turn the slow cooker to low or high, depending on your schedule.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together coconut milk, green curry paste, chicken broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic until smooth.
  3. Lightly coat the inside of the slow cooker with cooking spray or a thin wipe of oil.
  4. Add chicken pieces and carrots to the slow cooker, then pour the curry mixture over the top and stir gently.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
  6. Add the red bell pepper and zucchini during the final hour of cooking.
  7. Stir in lime juice and chopped cilantro, then taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  8. Serve warm over cooked jasmine rice.

Notes

  • Add softer vegetables during the final hour so they keep better texture.
  • Use full-fat coconut milk for the creamiest sauce.
  • Add extra lime juice at the end for a brighter flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
