CROCK-POT CHICKEN CURRY

I just dropped Rocco off at Pre-School and came home to throw this in the crock-pot before our morning play-date!  Hubby LOVES curry so I’m trying something new!

CROCK-POT CHICKEN CURRY

This ingredient list looks long; but most of the ingredients are spices that are quickly added to the crockpot. More curry powder is added at the end of the cooking time since the slow cooker tends to mute spice flavors.
Cook Time: 9 hours

Ingredients:
•    1 onion, thinly sliced
•    3 cloves garlic, minced
•    1 Tbsp. grated fresh ginger root
•    2″ cinnamon stick
•    1 to 2 Tbsp. curry powder
•    1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
•    3-1/2 lb. chicken, cut up and skinned
•    1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
•    2 Tbsp. cornstarch
•    2 tsp. curry powder
•    2 Tbsp. cold water
•    1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves
•    1/2 cup sliced green onions
•    1/2 cup mango chutney
•    1/2 cup chopped peanuts
•    1/2 cup chopped coconut

Directions:

1. Combine the onion, garlic, ginger root, cinnamon, 1 to 2 tablespoons curry powder, and red pepper flakes in 3-4 quart crock-pot.
2. Rinse chicken pieces and pat dry with paper towels. Arrange on top of onions and spices in crock-pot.
3. Pour chicken broth over all.
4. Cover slow cooker and cook on low for 7-8 hours.
