Chicken Curry

This is a recipe I got off of the Crock Pot Girls website.

My friend Kelly has made this 3 times and 

loves it, so I thought I would give it a try.

Here's what I learned about this recipe:

To make a dish with curry - you have to really like curry!

And I wasn't sure about it, but here you go...

 

I didn't have everything the recipe called for,

so I just made it with what I had.

But, I had to tweak it a bit at then end.

I'll see my friend Kelly tomorrow

and then I can ask her how she does it.

 

 This is what I started with.

Recipe said to use a ton of vegetables - 

whatever you have.  Well, this was

all I had.  If I had a green or red pepper,

and a zucchini, I would have used that too.

I had really big chicken breasts, 

so I cut them into big chunks and put

them in the crock pot.

Then I cut up the vegetables that I had.

I used some dried onion for flavor.

I don't like chunks of onions, but I love the flavor.

I dumped in the spices too.

Lots of cumin and curry.

The recipe called for tumeric, but I don't

know what that is and I didn't have any.

I saw it at the store, but I didn't want to pay 

$4 for it when I only needed like a teaspoon of it.

Then I poured a can of coconut milk in.

This really scared me!!! 

I have never used this before, and it

looked all milky and soupy and weird.

Then I added a cup of chicken broth

and a can of diced tomatoes.

Mixed it up and let it cook on low for 6 hours.

It smelled good.  It smelled like curry and milk.

It was very soupy.  I think I could have done

without the chicken broth.  I had to put 

a little cornstarch in to thicken it up.

I took the chicken out and shredded it.

Then put it back in the pot.

It was a little thicker now.

I served it with some jasmine rice.

So, Russell liked it.  He likes curry :)

I tried it and decided I don't like curry :(

The girls wouldn't touch it.

They had a frozen pizza.

Jacob had a small bowl and ate it and said it was good.

And then he asked for frozen pizza.

Here's the recipe as I found it on the 

Crock Pot Girls website:

Chicken Curry

about 4 chicken breasts, frozen or thawed

tons of whatever veggies you like (I use squash, 

zucchini, carrots, celery, etc)

about 3 chopped tomatoes (or you can just use a can of diced)

1 onion chopped

1 can coconut milk (light or regular, doesn’t matter)

1 cup chicken broth

salt to taste

1 or 2 Tbsp curry powder (your preference)

1 Tbsp ground cumin

1 tsp ground coriander

1 tsp turmeric

If you like you curry spicy, you can chop up 

a dried red chili or 2 and add.

There were no instructions with this recipe.

So, I just assumed you throw it in and mix it

up and cook on low for 6 hours or so.
