Serving Size: ½ c. curry mixture + ¼ c. cauliflower rice
# Servings: 6
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper
- 1 medium yellow onion, cut into slices
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
- 1 large carrot diced
- 1 c. frozen peas
- 3 tbsp. curry powder
- 1 tsp. minced garlic
- 2 c. light coconut milk
- 1 c. low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tbsp. cornstarch + 1 tbsp. water
- 1 head cauliflower
Directions:
- Wash chicken and pat dry. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place chicken, onion, carrots, peas, bell pepper, curry powder and garlic in a crockpot. Add chicken broth and coconut milk and cook on low for 4 hours.
- Remove chicken from crockpot and gently shred on a plate.
- Add equal parts cornstarch and water to a small mixing bowl and blend thoroughly until a paste forms. While the chicken is out of the crockpot, add the cornstarch mixture to the liquid in the crockpot and stir. Allow that to cook about 10 minutes before adding the chicken back in.
