It may not look like much, but this Slow Cooker Curried Chicken Stew is something that I’ve made again and again. Each iteration a little different, because why not when it’s such a simple formula? The delight is in the tweaking.
I paired it with rice, here, but if you’re avoiding grains then, by all means, enjoy it with some caulirice, heaped in a roasted bell pepper, or simply by itself.
All that’s required for this is layering raw chicken in the bottom of a slow cooker, heaping simple ingredients on top, finishing with a generous topping of spices. Voila! Rich, savory, effortless chicken stew is yours only four hours later.
P.S. Don’t skip the cilantro, lime, and chili flakes. It really brings a wonderful finishing twist to the stew!
