Sumptuous Slow Cooker Meal - Curry Chicken

Maximize flavor and minimize time standing over the stove with this delicious recipe.
Brimming with "UMAMI", this dish is a family favorite.



I tweaked the dish once prepared during my childhood by a Barbadian friend of my mother's. Claude did not use coconut milk. He did however use fresh tomatoes, and bell peppers. These veggies are omitted from this recipe, but would enhance it if you prefer to add them. I LOVE spicy food! My family does not. I omitted the traditional use of the Scotch Bonnet Pepper. I did not even add red pepper flakes to the family's portion. If you prefer a more traditional curry, be sure to add some spice to bring on the heat.

Spices Make this Dish Sing!
