Chinese chicken curry is one of my most popular recipes. And whilst it is really quick and easy to make in the pan – it’s even easier to make in the slow cooker too. This slow cooker curry takes barely any prep – there’s no need to pre-fry anything, just throw it all in the slow cooker and cook! 

This is a warming, delicious dinner you can enjoy any day of the week and easily prepare before work. It freezes really well if you want to make a large batch, plus its a very versatile dish! I tend to serve it with rice and spring onions, but this would make an amazing fake-away served with chips on a Saturday night! 

The chicken thigh falls apart and is shred to create a thick, rich dinner which you can prepare in a couple of minutes before work, and serve almost instantly once you come home! The curry powder I use is this Mayflower one – I do highly recommend it, but you can use any curry powder which thickens the sauce (not just curry spices).  The Mayflower curry is also slimming world friendly which is a bonus for many! 

I love to serve this Chinese curry with fresh sliced spring onions for an added crunch. The recipe works really well served with rice, or noodles – and i’d imagine it’s perfect to pair with a salad too if you’d prefer.
