Krag, Curry, and a Crock-pot

Krag and I have really enjoyed the crock-pot because we prepare it early and have a tasty dinner by the time we get home from work. Yesterday, Krag experimented with his first curry crock-pot dish (I was skeptical...).

I introduced Krag to Thai food, curry in particular, a few months ago and much to his surprise, he really enjoyed it. Since then, we have gone out several times for Thai food. With our 2009 goals of eating more at home, we decided it was time to test our own curry abilities.

Here is the recipe we used. Instead of curry powder, Krag used a curry sauce mixture packet and it turned out perfectly. Oh, and we left out the peas...I don’t like cooked peas…yuck.

INGREDIENTS:
1-1/2 lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 medium onion, chopped
3 medium potatoes, cubed
1 medium apple, chopped
2 Tbsp. curry powder
1 can (14-1/2 oz.) chicken broth
2 cups frozen peas, thawed
2 cups MINUTE White Rice, uncooked

PLACE chicken in slow cooker; top with onion. ADD potatoes, apple, curry powder and broth; cover with lid. Cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours (or on HIGH for 5 hours). STIR in peas and rice. Cover and cook an additional 20 minutes or until rice is tender.

My Final Rating: 5 out of 5 Cat Toys
