Ingredients

  • 1.75 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts cubed
  • 1 lb potatoes cut into bite-size chunks
  • 2-3 carrots chopped
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 1 dried bay leaf
  • 3.2 oz Japanese curry mix
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the potatoes, carrots, onion, chicken, and bay leaf to slow cooker.
  2. Break up the Japanese curry mix bricks and place them in a mixing bowl.
  3. Either microwave the broth or bring it to a boil on the stove. We need it really hot. Once boiling, pour it over the broken up curry bricks in the mixing bowl and use a fork to mash the bricks. Stir and mash until the curry mix is smooth, then pour it over everything in the slow cooker and give it all a stir.
  4. Cook on low for 4 hours. Serve with rice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Thighs can be used instead of breasts, but they'll cook quicker.
  • The Japanese curry mix I buy comes in a variety of spice levels.  I linked to "mild", but they also have medium-hot, hot, and extra hot.
  • This recipe is designed to be a thick, stew-like curry.  Feel free to add a little more broth at the end if you want it saucier.
