Welcome to my Slimming World Chicken Curry recipe In The Slow Cooker. Delicious creamy mild chicken curry slow cooked in the crockpot and then served with vegetables or rice. Easy to prepare and allows you to set and forget.
Dominic hates curry. Whether it is chicken curry, beef curry or even vegetarian curry, he would rather run a marathon than eat it.
He hates the taste of curry sauce and would always choose a Thai curry with coconut milk over a traditional Indian one.
This means that I don’t get the opportunity to have a chicken curry very often and I clearly used the blog as an excuse to make myself one.
You see I hate the idea of cooking separately and would normally rather go without then do separate meals.
But it also felt a shame that I have never really had a decent homemade chicken curry in the slow cooker and this was the perfect time to have one.
Plus my daughter is now 2 and loves chicken no matter how you cook it.
So I set to work and I made this Slimming World friendly, completely Syn Free curry for us to tuck into.
But like with most of my slow cooker recipes I always create them for four people in mind, not 1 and a toddler so after a generous portion at lunchtime there was still loads left.
What I did was in the evening I had curry again, just this time what I did was bulk it up with chickpeas, seasonal vegetables and sweet potato.
It was amazing and the second round was enough to feed another four people.
Thankfully, by this time my teenage son was home from school and had no issue helping me finish and then he complained that it was all gone!
I am thinking I need another job to fund his huge appetite!!!
But without further introduction this is my go to Slimming World go to chicken curry recipe in the slow cooker.
Simply use this as your base and then add your favourite vegetables or even add some rice or fries. The choice is yours!

Welcome to my Slimming World Chicken Curry recipe In The Slow Cooker. Delicious creamy mild chicken curry slow cooked in the crockpot and then served with vegetables or rice.
Peel and dice the onion and place it in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Dice the chicken breasts and add it too.
Add the garlic and all the seasonings along with the yoghurt and cheese.
Using your hands mix everything thoroughly so that the seasoning and yoghurt coats the chicken and onion well.
Place the lid on and set it to high and cook for 4 hours.
After 4 hours stir and serve with white rice.
Notes
I used fat free Greek Yoghurt in mine but you could use Fromage Frais instead. It just depends on what you have in your fridge. You can also swap the chicken for pork or for fish as either is nice for the base of the curry.
If you want the curry more spicy, add a teaspoon of chilli powder to the spice blend.

This easy to make beef curry uses a jar of curry sauce and is cooked in the slow cooker. Just pop the ingredients in the slow cooker, switch on and leave to cook slowly.
Yes, you can put raw chicken in a slow cooker! Slow cookers and Crock-Pots are designed to cook raw meats. The direct heat from the pot, lengthy cooking time and steam created from the tightly covered container destroys bacteria, making slow cooking safe. You can put frozen chicken in a slow cooker, too!
Also if you add a few diced potatoes they will break down and become a natural thickener. Curry powder also has some thickening properties, thus you can increase the amount added.
I would start on high and switch to low after 1/2 hours. Long and slow produces a more tender finished product. You want to bring your crockpot up to temp quickly even when you are going to cook at low. For optimal results, it's generally recommended to cook chicken on the low setting in a crockpot.
Overcooking chicken and buying woody chicken breast are two of the main causes behind rubbery chicken. You can stop this from happening by: buying “slow-growing” chicken. cooking your chicken in moisture.
"Browning, or caramelizing, meat before putting it into a slow cooker isn't 100 percent necessary, but it is well worth the effort for the most flavorful and full-bodied end result," he says. "The caramelized surface of the meat will lend rich flavor and color to the finished dish."
For a rich and creamy curry, coconut milk or cream can be a fantastic thickening agent. They not only add creaminess but also a delightful tropical flavour. Simply pour in some coconut milk or cream and let it simmer until your sauce reaches the desired consistency.
To thicken a soup, stew, or sauce, leaving the lid uncovered is ideal. "It must be off, or semi-covered, if you are slowing down the reduction process," says Stephen Chavez, chef-instructor at the Institute of Culinary Education.
It will not actually thicken the curry. It only adds a creamy texture to the curry. If you want to make your curry thicker, you will need to add some other ingredients like flour or coconut powder.
Step 4: Cook on High for 4-5 Hours or Low 7-8 Hours. Cooking time will depend on the size of your chicken. Chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 165 F and juices run clear, but also when it's so tender you can shred it with a fork.
Over and over AND OVER again, we have found that chicken breast registers at 165° F (the FDA recommended safe temp) right around 3 hours on LOW. Sometimes less, sometimes more depending on the size of the breast or other ingredients in the slow cooker.
Place the jars in the slow cooker and very carefully (very.carefully.)pour tap water into the crock.Fill it until the water comes about halfway up the jars.
Yes, people often use simmer sauces in slow cookers. However, you will need to add additional water in order to ensure that the sauce does not get too thick while the meal is cooking.
