That’s right, super amazing delicious Slow Cooker Chicken Curry. I bet you didn’t know food this good could come out of a slow cooker.
This dish features beautiful red bell peppers, carrots, and potatoes to add a bit of bulk. Serve over rice for some sweet starch-on-starch action.
I’ve been working with Frontier Natural to develop some delicious curry recipes, so you can expect to see more of these delicious recipes in the very near future.
This recipe really couldn’t be much easier. It starts with a basic red curry sauce which is poured into your slow cooker, followed by some browned chicken, spices, and broth.
Thirty minutes before it is done, add in the vegetables then put a pot of rice on to cook. Dinner is served!
There’s a great recipe for homemade basic red curry sauce on the site, but if you want to save some time you could use red curry paste and 2 cups of coconut milk as a substitute.
Start with just a tablespoon of red curry paste, then taste it towards the end of the cook time. You can always add more by mixing another tablespoon in a small cup filled with some of the hot broth from the slow cooker, then mixing it all into the curry. You can also make your own red curry paste and store it in the freezer for just these kind of emergencies.

I don’t see coconut in the recipe… I’m a red Curry recipe newbie… Am I missing something?
Hi, Shannon! The coconut refers to the coconut milk 🙂
Hi Shannon,
I didn’t see the coconut in the list of ingredients either – then I clicked the link within the recipe “Basic Red Curry” on the list of main ingredients – the coconut milk is in that portion of the recipe 🙂
