The first step to creating Crock Pot Chicken Curry was to wash, peel and cube some sweet potatoes.
Then I chopped up a yellow onion.
Next I sprayed the Crock Pot with cooking spray.
I arranged some chicken breasts in the Crock Pot.
Then I arranged the cubed sweet potatoes on top of the chicken breasts.
I scraped the chopped onion into the Crock Pot as well.
Next I combined some orange juice, minced garlic, chicken broth granules, salt, pepper and curry powder.
I poured this mixture over top of the ingredients in the Crock Pot.
I put the lid on and set the Crock Pot to Low for 6 hours.
After 6 hours I removed the lid.
Then I carefully lifted out the chicken and most of the vegetables. I set them aside and kept them warm.
I combined corn starch and water to create a slurry to thicken the sauce on the high setting for a few minutes.
I whisked the slurry into the sauce in the Crock Pot.
Then I turned the Crock Pot to High and put the lid back on for about 15 minutes or until the sauce began to thicken.
After the sauce thickened I returned the chicken and vegetables to the Pot to soak in the sauce for a few minutes.
Crock Pot Chicken Curry pairs beautifully with sides like mashed potatoes, rice, or gluten free crusty bread, perfect for soaking up the flavorful sauce.
We like to serve ours over top of a serving of rice.
Be sure to cover each chicken breast in a generous amount of the flavourful sauce!
