Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In the base of a slow cooker, whisk together the Greek yogurt, tomato paste, chopped onion, minced garlic, curry powder, grated ginger, salt, and pepper until well combined. (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Nestle the chicken breasts into the yogurt sauce, ensuring they are evenly coated. (2 minutes)

03

Step
8 hrs

Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low for approximately 8 hours, or until the chicken is very tender and easily shreds. (8 hours)

04

Step
5 mins

Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker, allowing it to absorb even more of the flavorful sauce. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Stir in sriracha sauce, if using, to add a touch of heat. Serve hot.

For a richer flavor, consider browning the chicken breasts in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker.
This shredded chicken is incredibly versatile! Serve it in wraps, over rice, in salads, or as a filling for tacos.
Adjust the amount of curry powder and sriracha to suit your personal spice preference.
If you don't have fresh ginger, 1 teaspoon of ground ginger can be substituted.

    A great recipe for a busy weeknight. I prepped everything in the morning and just turned on the slow cooker before leaving for work.

  • Reginald Feeney

    I found the sauce a little too tangy, so I added a touch of honey to balance it out.

    This was so easy and delicious! My family loved it.

    Be careful not to overcook the chicken, or it will dry out.
