Description
Cozy and flavorful, this low-FODMAP Slow-Cooker Chicken Curry requires minimal effort, making it an easy weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes (I like to use fire-roasted)
- 1 (13.5-ounce) can light coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons curry powder made with low FODMAP ingredients, see note for options
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- ½ teaspoon coarse salt, or to taste
- Optional: ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup (50 grams) baby spinach
For Serving
- 5 cups cooked basmati or brown rice
- 5 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 5 tablespoons sliced green onion tops (green parts only)
Instructions
- In the slow cooker, combine the diced tomatoes, coconut milk, brown sugar, curry powder, cumin, grated ginger, and salt. Stir in the coconut milk until smooth and well blended.
- Add the diced chicken to the slow cooker and stir to coat it evenly with the sauce.
- Cover and cook on low for 5–6 hours or high for 2–3 hours, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is tender.
- During the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the spinach and cook until just wilted. Adjust flavor with additional salt and optional cayenne pepper, if desired.
- Serve the curry over cooked rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro or sliced green onion tops.
