What is it about curry? I hear the word and my mouth starts to water. Indian curry, Thai curry – it doesn’t seem to matter.

This slow-cooker chicken curry is more Indian than Thai, but I think it’s mostly just really yummy. The color is gorgeous – a lovely deep orange, and the smell when it’s cooking is divine.

It’s made of canned and frozen stuff, so it’s a great anytime recipe – I always have the ingredients in my pantry and freezer. And you know me and the crockpot. It’s a long term love affair. I mean, why not? I take five minutes in the morning, and by dinner, anyone who’s interested thinks I’m some kind of gourmet cook. I’ll take it 🙂

It also works really well as a dump meal (we ate it multiple times after I had Alex because of this!)

The original comes from The Lemon Bowl, and I’ve made a few modifications to make it a little more frugal-friendly.

What kind of frozen veggies do you reccomend? I prefer fresh, are there types that would cook well and not get much in the slow cooker?

Fresh veggies would probably work well too! I usually use the standard frozen mixed vegetable packs (peas, carrots, green beans, and corn) but I’ve also used the Normandy blend (cauliflower, carrots, and broccoli), and various types of stir fry blends – all with success. My personal favorite is the Kirkland Signature Stir-fry Mix you can get from Costco. Hope that helps!
