Crockpot Curry Chicken With Rice

Foodblog (10 of 12)

I don’t use my crockpot enough! I’m adding it to my weekly food requirements checklist:

  • Sardines;
  • Massaged kale salad;
  • Mexican bowl, and
  • Crockpot meal

Remind me of this list next month!

I made this chicken curry the night my parents came to visit, and between the crockpot and the rice cooker, it was a totally hands off meal. I could enjoy their company and didn’t have to excuse myself to run to the kitchen.

The one thing that bugs me about crockpot meals though? Directions that make you sear meat before putting it in the pot. I know this makes for a better taste, but the reason I’m using a crockpot is so I don’t have to dirty any pans! This recipe is a “dump everything in and forget about it” crockpot meal. Thumbs up!

Foodblog (3 of 12)

Start by adding your potatoes and chicken to the bowl.

Then top with garlic and ginger.

Have you seen these in the frozen section? They are my secret shortcut for instant garlic and ginger!! It’s SO easy to just pop some frozen crushed garlic into a pan.

Then add the rest of the spices, and the coconut milk.

Foodblog (5 of 12) Foodblog (6 of 12)

Top with raisins and mix everything well!

Foodblog (8 of 12)

Set the crockpot on low for 6 hours. During the last hour add the green beans, so they steam just enough to be tender.

Foodblog (9 of 12)

Serve over rice, with cilantro and peanuts for garnish! The chicken should just fall right off the bone.

    I love the Instant Pot. You can sear and cook in the same pot! And it cuts my slow-cooking time in half if not more! It’s also a great rice cooker. I look forward to trying this recipe in mine!

    My mom gave me a crockpot for Christmas that has a sear setting so you can sear directly in the crockpot without having to dirty another pan! It works great! This is it: http://www.amazon.com/Ninja-MC750-Cooking-System-Chrome/dp/B012FY78WG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1462972443&sr=8-1&keywords=ninja+4+in+1+cooking+system

    Wow this looks really good! And I am right there with you–I hardly ever make crock pot meals that include any type of cooking step before putting the food into the crock pot.

    Did you accidentally leave out some spices? It looks like you included a tablespoon of coriander seeds or something else from your photos.

    My crockpot always over cooks everything. I have a 6 quart and it seems no matter how much food I put in, it’s dry as a fart by the time I get home. I so want to utilize it though!!

    And this looks AMAZING!!

    Oh MY gosh this looks amazing. Agreed on needing to use the crock pot more. It’s SO nice to come home to a meal already done

    Kath – what’s that picture below the shot of the chicken in the crockpot? It looks like really small peanuts maybe? I can’t match it with the ingredient list. Thanks!

    I’m totally with you on the “having to cook the food before you put it in the crock pot.” Totally defeats the purpose. That’s cool that they’re making newer options where you don’t have to do that.

      This was REALLY easy to make and also really tasty! The flavor was great. I didn’t even make rice, I just served it in a bowl as is and loved it. I think next time I might just use boneless chicken though.

    Is there yogurt on the chicken? There is something white and thick on top – did you garnish it before eating? Or is that the coconut milk? I’m confused. This looks awesome and I want to make it – it is also my pet peeve when you have to sear the meat first or sauté some veggies!

      That’s the coconut milk! It was full fat and solidified and melted once the heat came on

    I save the Dorot trays and freeze my herbs in them over summer. I get the convenience of frozen and everything I grow is used! Win-Win!

    Agreed! A hate having to cook before crock! I only sear roasts and sometime chicken in certain record but generally,I just toss everything in.

    This looks yummy! Many times I feel that crock pot meals involving chicken have a generic crock pot taste, if that makes any sense. I am determined to find tasty cp meals though! Couple of questions. My local grocery store did not have the coriander seeds, only ground. How much ground coriander would you suggest to use instead? Also, my crew would not be a fan of the raisins. Are they a nice addition or pretty integral? Thank you! I’m

      I’d use a few punches of the ground coriander. And you can leave out the raisins but I love them – maybe put them on the side?
