Welcome to my Slimming World Chicken Curry recipe In The Slow Cooker. Delicious creamy mild chicken curry slow cooked in the crockpot and then served with vegetables or rice. Easy to prepare and allows you to set and forget.
Dominic hates curry. Whether it is chicken curry, beef curry or even vegetarian curry, he would rather run a marathon than eat it.
He hates the taste of curry sauce and would always choose a Thai curry with coconut milk over a traditional Indian one.
This means that I don’t get the opportunity to have a chicken curry very often and I clearly used the blog as an excuse to make myself one.
You see I hate the idea of cooking separately and would normally rather go without then do separate meals.
But it also felt a shame that I have never really had a decent homemade chicken curry in the slow cooker and this was the perfect time to have one.
Plus my daughter is now 2 and loves chicken no matter how you cook it.
So I set to work and I made this Slimming World friendly, completely Syn Free curry for us to tuck into.
But like with most of my slow cooker recipes I always create them for four people in mind, not 1 and a toddler so after a generous portion at lunchtime there was still loads left.
What I did was in the evening I had curry again, just this time what I did was bulk it up with chickpeas, seasonal vegetables and sweet potato.
It was amazing and the second round was enough to feed another four people.
Thankfully, by this time my teenage son was home from school and had no issue helping me finish and then he complained that it was all gone!
I am thinking I need another job to fund his huge appetite!!!
But without further introduction this is my go to Slimming World go to chicken curry recipe in the slow cooker.
Simply use this as your base and then add your favourite vegetables or even add some rice or fries. The choice is yours!

Welcome to my Slimming World Chicken Curry recipe In The Slow Cooker. Delicious creamy mild chicken curry slow cooked in the crockpot and then served with vegetables or rice.
Peel and dice the onion and place it in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Dice the chicken breasts and add it too.
Add the garlic and all the seasonings along with the yoghurt and cheese.
Using your hands mix everything thoroughly so that the seasoning and yoghurt coats the chicken and onion well.
Place the lid on and set it to high and cook for 4 hours.
After 4 hours stir and serve with white rice.
Notes
I used fat free Greek Yoghurt in mine but you could use Fromage Frais instead. It just depends on what you have in your fridge. You can also swap the chicken for pork or for fish as either is nice for the base of the curry.
If you want the curry more spicy, add a teaspoon of chilli powder to the spice blend.

This easy to make beef curry uses a jar of curry sauce and is cooked in the slow cooker. Just pop the ingredients in the slow cooker, switch on and leave to cook slowly.
Scoop out a bit of the cooking liquid, whisk in some flour, then whisk this slurry back into your pot and continue to simmer until the sauce thickens and the taste of raw flour is gone. You will need about 2 tablespoons of flour per cup of liquid in your recipe.
Yes, you can put raw chicken in a slow cooker! Slow cookers and Crock-Pots are designed to cook raw meats. The direct heat from the pot, lengthy cooking time and steam created from the tightly covered container destroys bacteria, making slow cooking safe. You can put frozen chicken in a slow cooker, too!
Is it better to cook chicken slowly? Chicken is a very versatile and lean meat with little fat or sinew, so it doesn't need long cooking for it to become tender. Both quick high heat methods such as frying, and low, slow cooking are suitable.
For a rich and creamy curry, coconut milk or cream can be a fantastic thickening agent. They not only add creaminess but also a delightful tropical flavour. Simply pour in some coconut milk or cream and let it simmer until your sauce reaches the desired consistency.
If your curry is still too thin after cooking, you can try leaving the lid off for the last 30 minutes to an hour. This will allow some of the moisture to evaporate and thicken the sauce. Just be careful not to leave it off for too long, as this can also lead to over-reduction and a concentrated flavor.
Add liquid such as chicken broth, water, or citrus juice to keep the chicken moist. The liquid provides necessary moisture during the cooking process, preventing the chicken from drying out and becoming tough. Chicken broth, for instance, not only keeps the meat moist but also adds flavor to the dish.
"Browning, or caramelizing, meat before putting it into a slow cooker isn't 100 percent necessary, but it is well worth the effort for the most flavorful and full-bodied end result," he says. "The caramelized surface of the meat will lend rich flavor and color to the finished dish."
With the exception of larger recipes (like 8+ servings), It only takes 2.5-3.5 hours on LOW for boneless, skinless chicken breast to be fully cooked in the slow cooker.
You certainly can, the meat will simply fall to bits, which might be desirable for some recipes like “Chicken and Dumplings” which will take 8–12 hours on “Low” setting. As long as the temperature remains above 140 F you can leave your chicken in the cooker all day but try to avoid more than 12 hours…
Aside from accidentally overcooking the meals, the most common reason we see for tough, rubbery, or overdone chicken is customers using a Crockpot that is far too big. Each of our meals comes with a recommended slow cooker size.
Rubbery chicken is usually an indicator of overcooked chicken. The longer the chicken cooks, the more moisture it loses, and without moisture, the protein fibers become elastic, AKA rubbery.
Cook boneless chicken breasts in slow cooker on LOW for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours. Always cook your boneless skinless chicken breasts on LOW for the best results. I do not recommend cooking boneless chicken breast on HIGH, as it will become very dry and tough, even if you check it early.
Place the jars in the slow cooker and very carefully (very.carefully.)pour tap water into the crock.Fill it until the water comes about halfway up the jars.
Yes, people often use simmer sauces in slow cookers. However, you will need to add additional water in order to ensure that the sauce does not get too thick while the meal is cooking.
