Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs (or breasts)
  • 1 can pineapple chunks, in juice 20 ounce
  • ½ medium yellow onion chopped
  • 1 large sweet red pepper cut into strips
  • 6 ounce baby carrots
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 3 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 Tablespoons sugar
  • 4 cloves garlic pressed
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 2 Tablespoon red curry paste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In small bowl, whisk the coconut milk with the cornstarch until smooth. Add sugar, garlic, ginger, salt, pepper, lime juice and red curry paste. Set aside.
  2. In large slow cooker, place chicken on bottom.
  3. Top with pineapples, onion, red peppers and carrots. Pour coconut mixtures over chicken and vegetables.
  4. Cover and cook on low for about 6 hours. Serve with rice or potatoes.

Notes

  • Use fresh or canned pineapple. Either one will work just fine with today's recipe.
  • Change up the vegetables. Swap out the red pepper for green pepper, and toss some small red potatoes in the crockpot with the chicken. 
  • Serve in a hollowed out pineapple (like I did with this pineapple salsa recipe). Looks beautiful with a bed of rice too!
  • Add a sliced green onion or some snipped fresh basil to garnish.
