Crockpot Chicken Curry
The crockpot: It is probably the most under-utilized tool in my kitchen. I know many women swear by their slow cooker to help them prepare healthy and tasty meals each night. So, I am on an adventure to find some new recipes for my family!
Sundays in our house are often most stressful than I would prefer. Getting the girls dressed, fed, and out the door for Mass is always an ordeal. (as it Mass itself with a 2 year old!) When we get home, we are are usually hungry and tired, so having to cook a big meal often results in 2 grouchy adults.
Enter the crockpot! Last Sunday, I prepared a meal and set it by 6:45AM. We arrived home to a delicious aroma, and all we had to do was set the table and make rice. Afterward, M slept easily for her nap and we actually had time for leisure, rather than the crazy rushing-around that often occurs.
What I made:
2-3 chicken breasts (whatever I had on hand), unthawed
1/2 plain yogurt
2 Roma tomatoes, purreed in a blender
1 onion, sliced
2 garlic cloves
1 finger length fresh ginger
1/8 cup freshly chopped cilantro
seasonings:
1/2 chili powder
1/2 tspgaram masala
salt
pepper
1-2 tsp Chicken Curry powder (We have it premade by my MIL, but this is a great alterative! We have a lot of this brand on hand.)
Mix together the seasonings and add a little water. Defrost the chicken and coat it with the seasoning mix. Add the rest of the ingrediepnts together and place in the crockpot. Cook on high for 3-4 hours, depending on your crockpot's settings. In the last 10 minutes before serving, add chopped cilantro. Enjoy with rice or chapatis.
