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.
