How to Make Slow Cooker Curry Chicken

  1. In your 6.5-quart (or 5-quart) slow cooker, combine 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained, 1 cup chicken broth, and 1/2 cup coconut milk.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons curry powder, 1 tablespoon garam masala, 1 teaspoon turmeric, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 2 tablespoons peanut butter, and 1 bouillon cube. Stir until well combined.
  3. Season 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs with salt and pepper to taste. Add chicken to the slow cooker along with 2 medium potatoes (peeled and cubed) and 1 medium onion (chopped). Stir gently to coat everything in the sauce.
  4. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, stirring once or twice during cooking time.
  5. For a thicker sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water until smooth.
  6. Slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the slow cooker. Cook on high for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has reached your desired thickness.
  7. Serve hot over your favorite rice or noodles. Garnish with fresh cilantro for an extra burst of freshness!
