Slow Cooker Coconut Chicken Curry
[blue_heading] Slow Cooker Coconut Chicken Curry $1.46 per serving [/blue_heading]
Do you like chicken? Coconut? How about curries?
Well if you said yes to any or all of them I promise you will enjoy this ridiculously simple coconut chicken curry recipe.
Like most Americans growing up in the Midwest, I was never exposed to the delicious treat that is “curries”. Beef, chicken, pork, fish, and veggie curries have all been relatively new to me. Yes, your kitchen and clothes will smell of very potent exotic spices, but it’s going to be SO worth it in the end!
Cheapstir is all about living simply, but simply does not mean living with low quality. All it takes is a little patience and creativity to come up with something unique and original. . .and TASTY of COURSE! Most of us do not have all the time in the world to get all of the things done we would like to, so tonight let’s make dinner easy.
I can eat this for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. This recipe has served me well as i’m sure if you follow this recipe it will also serve you just as well. Tweak it however you’d like but always remember to come back and check out Cheapstir when your hungry again.
