Ingredients

  • 3 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

  • 2 (14 ounce) cans coconut milk

  • 2 onions, diced

  • 4 tablespoons tomato paste

  • 4 tablespoons minced fresh garlic

  • 4 tablespoons minced fresh ginger

  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin

  • 1 tablespoon ground turmeric

  • 1 tablespoon garam masala (Optional)

  • 1 tablespoon ground coriander

  • 1 tablespoon curry powder

  • 4 bay leaves

  • 1 cinnamon stick

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Add chicken, coconut milk, onions, tomato paste, garlic, ginger, cumin, turmeric, garam masala, coriander, curry powder, bay leaves, cinnamon stick, salt, and pepper to a slow cooker.

  2. Cook on High until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 2 to 3 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove and discard the bay leaves and cinnamon stick. Shred the chicken.

Cook’s Note

You can leave the chicken breasts whole or chop each one into three or four pieces so they cook faster if preferred. I like to chop mine because I think it makes the flavor stronger.
