I love curries. I still have a lot to learn about Indian spices and all they have to offer, we make curries a couple times a month at home and it’s one of our preferred dishes to order out!
This is one of those dishes that becomes even better the next day. The curry flavor grows, which is one of my favorite things about great spices. Sometimes I make it for just the two of us, looking forward to a week’s worth of leftovers for lunch.
This is also a great “starter” curry. If you’re not sure how you feel about Indian spices or curries, this is where to begin: it’s flavorful and full of spice but with no heat. It was the first curry I made for my husband after he tried Indian food for the first time and loved it!
To make a vegetarian version of this: double the potatoes, skip the chicken and substitute vegetable broth for chicken.

I recently made this on a Sunday night, and we ate the leftovers all week long! We love this slow cooker coconut chicken curry!
Others in our regular slow cooker rotation are chicken tacos and this sweet potato quinoa stew. What’s your favorite slow cooker recipe? Leave yours in the comments below!

I don’t eat meat but I’m all about some coconut dishes! This looks yummy!
Me too! And it’s easily made vegetarian – just double the potatoes or sub in tofu!
I don’t eat chicken but I’m obsessed with dishes that have coconut milk in them and I love potatoes so I think this would make a great veggie dish as well!
