Instructions

  1. Slice the chicken into bite-size pieces.

Optional step:

  1. For a flavor boost, season the chicken with half of the curry spices then sear in a splash of olive oil/vegetable oil in a large skillet set over medium heat until golden brown. This step is completely optional but will result in a more flavorful finished dish.
  2. Combine all the ingredients except for the cream in the bowl of your slow cooker/crockpot. Stir to combine.
  3. Set to high high and cook for 2-3 hours or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  4. Pour in the cream and adjust seasoning if necessary then cook for another 30 minutes to 1 hour on high.  
  5. Serve with side dishes of your choice and garnish with fresh cilantro/coriander.
