📋 Ingredients?
I like to use diced chicken breast for this recipe. I often use boneless skinless chicken thighs when I’m cooking chicken for a long time (since thighs tend to be more tender than breast meat with long cooking), but I’ve tested this recipe with thighs and breast, and they both work well and both are tender and juicy. If you don’t have a searing function on your slow cooker then you can do these initial stages in a large frying pan/skillet and transfer to the slow cooker later. If you wanted to go low carb then you could serve it up with some Cauliflower Rice.
Fluffy boiled basmati rice or Onion Fried rice, Lightly charred Garlic Naan Bread, A sprinkle of fresh coriander (fresh cilantro) and some nigella seeds, Garnish with some thinly sliced onions or you could use a simple tomato and onion salad, Some mango chutney on the side 😋
