Tessa’s Recipe Rundown
Taste: Full of complex savory flavor. Be sure to include the seeds from the jalapeno for a little spice! Texture: I love the big chunks of tender potato and carrot alongside the meaty bites of chicken. The sauce is rich and thick and is wonderful for dipping chewy naan bread into! Ease: Very easy, just some prep work required. Luckily the food processor/blender does most of the work! Appearance: A little plain but beautiful in its own way… right?? Pros: Easy slow cooker meal that’s perfect for a weeknight dinner. Cons: None! Would I make this again? Absolutely!This post may contain affiliate links. Read our disclosure policy.
Slow Cooker Coconut Curry Chicken is bursting with savory flavor and is a perfect easy weeknight meal!
Recently I made my first ever purchase from Etsy! I bought a curtain valance for the kitchen window, if I love it I’ll be sure to share a photo on Instagram. I don’t know what took me so long to finally buy something there, it’s such an awesome site. I think what has drawn me away in the past is the sheer number of people selling products there, it’s so overwhelming! I wish I could “window shop” the best Etsy stores but I don’t know how to find them. If you have any favorites or suggestions for awesome shops on Etsy, let me know!! I’d love to follow more stores and buy more handmade items. What have you recently purchased there?
I love the idea of purchasing hand made items and supporting small businesses almost as much as I love the idea of making homemade food. Just knowing that what you are buying, wearing, and eating came from a person’s labor of love makes it that much more enjoyable. Luckily not all recipes for homemade meals have to be super labor intensive. This Slow Cooker Coconut Curry Chicken utilizes both the slow cooker and the food processor/blender to do a lot of the work for you. Plus it’s absolutely bursting with flavor and smells intoxicating while it’s cooking!

I’ve made it twice now and both times it has turned out great. The blender and slow cooker make cooking so much easier. Thank you!
I’ve had a crockpot for years but never found a recipe that really got me excited about using it. Thank goodness you changed that! Made this yesterday and LOVED it! I added peas and baby onions for some extra veggies. The whole thing was delicious! Thank you for inspiring me!!
Gosh, I love curry, but hardly ever make it at home. This looks right up my ally, serious comfort with a little bit of spice!
This is totally my kind of comfort food!
My slow cooker has held a semi-permanent position on my counter top recently. . i’m loving slow cooker recipes . . can’t wait to try this one!
Love that!! I nearly break my back every time I try to lug the slow cooker out from the bottom cabinet!
Me and the hubs are bonkers for curry, especially anything coconut curry! LOVING that I can put this in the slow cooker and come home to a fab dinner! Pinned!
