A flavorful and easy slow cooker dish featuring chicken simmered in coconut milk, curry, and fresh herbs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless and skinless chicken (breasts or thighs)
  • 1 (13.5 ounce) can coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce (or soy sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (or rice vinegar)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut/palm sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 jalapeno, diced (or bird eye chili)
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1/3 cup basil (preferably Thai basil), chopped

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken flat along the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Layer all the other ingredients: coconut milk, curry powder, fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, onion, jalapeno, garlic, and ginger directly over the chicken.
  3. Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook either on low for 8 hours or high for 3 hours.
  4. Once the cooking time is up, shred the chicken right in the cooker using two forks, allowing it to soak up the aromatic sauce.
  5. Before serving, stir in the fresh cilantro and basil. Enjoy it over jasmine rice or rice noodles for a satisfying meal.
