Slow Cooker Chicken Curry with Vegetables
Made from ingredients easily kept on hand, this Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Curry is perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. Simply add the chicken, curry sauce, coconut milk, and veggies to the slow cooker and let it work its magic. It couldn’t be any easier. If you love curry recipes, you’re going to love this flavorful, delicious meal.
The chicken can be fresh or frozen, cut up or left whole and shredded when it’s done cooking. I like to use Trader Joe’s curry sauce, but you can use your favorite curry sauce or whatever you have in the pantry.
Keeping frozen chicken and veggies in the freezer along with the curry sauce on hand, it has become a go-to recipe on our dinner rotation. I find myself serving it every week to two weeks because it’s so easy to make, and my kids really like it.

Tips for How to Make Slow Cooker Chicken Curry
- You can use thawed or frozen chicken thighs or breasts. I usually use thighs because they’re what I have on hand most of the time.
- Cut the chicken into cubes before adding them to the crockpot, or put them in whole, and shred or cube the chicken after it’s done cooking.
- I like to use Trader Joe’s curry sauce.
- You can use regular coconut milk or low-fat coconut milk. The sauce will be a little thinner if you use low-fat coconut milk.
- Depending upon how many veggies I use, I add 1/4-1/2 tsp salt.
- For my family, I doubled this recipe.
