Slow Cooker Chinese Chicken Curry

Slow Cooker Chicken Chinese Curry Recipe

Chinese chicken curry is one of my most popular recipes. And whilst it is really quick and easy to make in the pan – it’s even easier to make in the slow cooker too. This slow cooker curry takes barely any prep – there’s no need to pre-fry anything, just throw it all in the slow cooker and cook! 

This is a warming, delicious dinner you can enjoy any day of the week and easily prepare before work. It freezes really well if you want to make a large batch, plus its a very versatile dish! I tend to serve it with rice and spring onions, but this would make an amazing fake-away served with chips on a Saturday night! 

The chicken thigh falls apart and is shred to create a thick, rich dinner which you can prepare in a couple of minutes before work, and serve almost instantly once you come home! The curry powder I use is this Mayflower one – I do highly recommend it, but you can use any curry powder which thickens the sauce (not just curry spices).  The Mayflower curry is also slimming world friendly which is a bonus for many! 

I love to serve this Chinese curry with fresh sliced spring onions for an added crunch. The recipe works really well served with rice, or noodles – and i’d imagine it’s perfect to pair with a salad too if you’d prefer.
