Tender chicken and potatoes flavored with green chiles and spices cooked in coconut milk and served over basmati rice come together for an easy and delicious weeknight dinner. Green curry with chicken and potatoes is a family favorite at our house. So I decided to see if my stovetop recipe would work well in a crockpot for busy days when I didn’t have time to whip it up on the stove. Let me tell you it did not disappoint. This Slow Cooker Green Curry with Chicken and Potatoes version was just as tasty.
I always double this recipe because my family loves it, and using six potatoes helps the meal go further. If you love green curry as much as my family does, I recommend you make a double batch. If you are lucky, you might even have leftovers for lunch the next day. Oh, and don’t forget to eat it with naan bread. Whether you serve homemade naan bread or store-bought, you will love dipping it into the creamy green curry sauce.

Frequently Asked Questions about How to Make Slow Cooker Green Curry with Chicken and Potatoes
My family doesn’t like potato skins. Do you recommend peeling the potatoes?
If your family doesn’t like potato skins, yes, you can peel the potatoes, and the curry will still turn out delicious. I like to leave the skin on for added fiber in the dish.
I don’t have coconut milk on hand. What is a good substitute?
Heavy cream is a good substitute for coconut milk in this recipe.
Can I use lite coconut milk?
Yes, you can, but the sauce will not be as thick and creamy. I recommend full-fat coconut milk for the best flavor and texture.
Where do you find garam masala in the grocery store?
If you’re looking for garam masala in the grocery store, try the international aisle. It’s usually next to other spices like curry, cumin, and cardamom. If you don’t find it in the international aisle, go to the spice aisle where you find black pepper, etc. You may also find it in Asian markets, and you’re bound to find it in an Indian market. Also, you can find it online at Amazon.
Can I use other vegetables?
I have not tried it with other vegetables, but I think sweet potatoes, carrots, or cauliflower would taste delicious.
