Easiest Crockpot Curry Chicken

November 2, 2013 · by Ari · 34 Comments

Bold, flavorful curried chicken in your crockpot has never been so easy–the perfect weeknight meal that anyone can put together.

Most of the time I truly enjoy cooking. I love being creative in the kitchen, and putting together a bunch of things that make my husband make that face where he raises an eyebrow and the rest of his face gets all scrunchy, only to end up admitting his unfounded skepticism when he tastes the deliciousness that ensues.

But sometimes getting in the kitchen after a long day sounds like the worst thing everrrrr. This is when I love my crockpot. And even more, I love crockpot recipes that literally require zero effort on my part. If I have to brown meat first, it usually never even ends up happening because that means I actually have to remember to cook at 7am.

This is the easiest recipe you will ever make. And you want to know a secret? Usually when I make it, I use a bag of broccoli that steams in the microwave and boil-in-a-bag rice. Sometimes I remember to set up my rice cooker which is also super hands off, but I like the option of being 100% lazy.

As easy and simple as this recipe is, it doesn’t taste like it! The flavors are bold, and it’s one of those dishes where you look forward to eating the leftovers all week long. In fact, sometimes Steve and I even fight about who gets to take them to lunch. 😉

Easy Crockpot Curry Chicken

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 5 hours

Total Time: 5 hours, 5 minutes

Yield: 4 servings

Easy Crockpot Curry Chicken

Bold, flavorful curried chicken in your crockpot has never been so easy--the perfect weeknight meal that anyone can put together.

Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 3 cups green curry sauce (use gluten-free and/or dairy-free sauces is desired)*
  • Brown rice and steamed broccoli for serving**

Instructions

  1. Place chicken in slow cooker. Cover with curry sauce. Cook on low for 5-6 hours.
  2. Remove chicken from slow cooker and shred. Return to sauce. Serve with brown rice and steamed broccoli.

Notes

*Curry sauce needs to cover chicken. Depending on the size of your slow cooker and chicken breasts, you may need more or less sauce. **I serve about half a chicken breast with 1/2 cup brown rice and 1 cup broccoli. Feel free to alter as desired, or serve with something totally different.

    Yum! My mom picked something similar at costco the other day. It was super delicious, but I would love to get a crockpot, I’m sure your recipe ends up being cheaper than the costco one was!

      It’s even cheaper if you make your own sauce, but since this is my lazy recipe, I haven’t done that yet. Thanks Katie! 🙂

      What kind of curry have you eaten? I made this same dish with red curry and hated it (my husband loved it), but I LOVE the green stuff. Also, using the crockpot causes the smell to be not as strong I feel like? Maybe? Perhaps this can change your mind! 😉

    I grew up on curry. I absolutely love Indian Cuisine. It’s one of my most favourite cuisines to eat. Naan Bread and Tandoori Chicken. Yum Yum!

    Great recipe! You have me wanting some now…at 8 am 😉

    Ugh, I know how you feel, I love cooking too but after a particularly long day all I want to do is make peanut butter toast! This looks like the perfect compromise and you are really making me want to get a crockpot now!

    Okay, thank you for whisking away my dinner time stressors. Love chicken curry. Now maybe I can actually have time to finally try making roti.

    This is such a perfect recipe for a weeknight: just throw everything in a crockpot and do nothing else! And such yummy flavors: I bet chicken came out really moist and soft!

    I love this–I have been such a lazy dinner maker lately, and I always need new ideas for fast and tasty (and healthy!) recipes! I always forget about the prepared curry sauces–definitely going to give this a try!

      I kept telling myself I wasn’t going to post it until I made my own curry sauce, but then I just never wanted to take the time. So lazy, right? But I feel like a lot of people are in the same boat and convenience just wins sometimes. Thanks Elizabeth!

    I made something similar this summer with TJs curry sauce, and I added sweet potatoes and pineapple. Chicken curry crockpot is the best meal ever.

      Minus the pineapple it sounds like heaven! I used to use the TJ’s one (looooove it), but it has flour in it. Boo.

    Sadly, I haven’t fallen in love with my slow cooker. I’m not sure why. What I do know is that my husband and I love anything that invovles curry so I would definitely drag out my slow cooker to make this yummy chicken. 🙂

      I’ve heard a lot of people say that it sucks the flavor out of things, but I’ve just never had that experience. My meat always comes out perfect, and the flavors are bold and developed. You may want to make sure you’re not over cooking things in there–that is a sure way to not enjoy it! I’ve found many recipes say to cook food wayyyy longer than necessary.
