Follow The Directions
01
Step
In the base of a slow cooker, combine the cubed chicken, potatoes, bell pepper strips, and chopped onion. (5 minutes)
02
Step
In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, curry powder, red curry paste, cumin, and salt. Pour the mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the slow cooker. Stir gently to ensure everything is evenly coated. (3 minutes)
03
Step
Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low for 4-5 hours or on High for 2-3 hours, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through, and the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork. (See notes for timing adjustments). (3-5 hours)
04
Step
During the last 15 minutes of cooking time, stir in the coconut milk. Allow the curry to heat through, stirring occasionally. (15 minutes)
05
Step
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt, black pepper, or cayenne pepper to taste. (2 minutes)
06
Step
To serve, ladle the curry over cooked rice or alongside naan bread. Garnish with fresh cilantro. (2 minutes)
For a richer flavor, consider browning the chicken cubes in a skillet with a little oil before adding them to the slow cooker. This step adds depth of flavor, but it is optional.
Adjust the amount of red curry paste and cayenne pepper to control the level of spiciness.
If you prefer a thicker curry, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to form a slurry. Stir the slurry into the curry during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Garnish with a sprinkle of cashews or chopped peanuts for added texture and flavor.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

May 4, 2025The potatoes were a bit mushy after 5 hours on low. Next time, I'll try cooking it for less time.
