Ingredients
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite size chunks1/2 onion, finely minced2 tablespoons butter3 cloves garlic, minced or grated1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger2 teaspoons curry powder1-2 teaspoons curry paste ( I used Thai Red Curry Paste and 2 teaspoons)2 tablespoons garam masala1/2-1 teaspoon turmeric ( I used 1/2 since my family is not crazy about turmeric)1 teaspoon cayenne pepper1/4 teaspoon salt1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk, regular or lite (I used regular), plus more if needed to thin the sauce1/2 cup Greek yogurt (I used 0%)1/4 cup half and half or heavy creamcooked white rice, for servingFresh homemade Naan , for scooping (a must!)
1.In a large glass measuring cup or bowl mix together the coconut milk, greek yogurt and cream. Stir in the tomato paste, garlic, ginger and all the spices. Mix well.
2.Spray the inside of your crockpot bowl with cooking spray or grease with olive oil. To the bowl sprinkle the onion over the bottom. Add the chicken and then pour the coconut milk mixture over the chicken so the chicken is completely covered. Add the butter and place the lid on the crockpot. Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6 to 8 hours. I like to stir mine once or twice during cooking, but it is not necessary. When ready to serve taste and season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve over rice with a big piece of fresh Naan
