This Slow cooker Thai chicken curry is such an easy recipe, if you love curries you can't go wrong.
This recipe for Slow Cooker Thai Chicken Curry is so easy. You just throw everything in to the slow cooker or crock pot and turn it onto high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours. You could add any green veggies to cook through at the end, I used peas because I always have them in the freezer.
Any Thai curry paste would work, red, green, massaman, panang and you could add some chilli if you like your curries hot. If you like you curries thicker you could add some cornflour to thicken it up.

Common questions about Thai Chicken Curry:
Does this freeze well? Yes. This curry can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 6 months in the freezer. Defrost, then heat to piping hot in a saucepan on the stovetop.
Can I use other cuts of chicken? My preference is skinless chicken thighs (either bone in or out) as the meat has a rich flavour. But you could also use chicken breast if you have it.
