    Highlights

    Isn’t it amazing how many ways you can make delicious meals using chicken? It’s time to add one more!
    My family loves anything with curry and/or coconut milk and they just happen to make the perfect combination. With a simple blend of spices, this recipe is perfect for dipping your toes into making recipes that might be a little different than your family is used to.
    You could certainly spice this up a little with some red pepper flakes, but we love the mild flavors and rich sauce. The best part is how this comes together with just minutes of prep to get everything into the slow cooker.

    Ingredient Notes

    • Curry powder is a spice blend made from spices like chili powder, cumin, turmeric and more
    • Curry paste is made from peppers, garlic and other spices
    • The combination of these gives you a smoky, mildly spicy and flavorful combination perfect for chicken

    Preparation Notes

    • This recipe only requires a small amount of chopping
    • There is no pre-cooking/browning or other work involved
    • Simply toss everything into the slow cooker for a simple to make meal that is not simple on flavor

    Recipe Notes

    • If your family does not care for the spinach, you can leave it out
