Chicken-Mango Curry

This recipe I found in a Family Fun Magazine. I tried it and it is FANTASTIC! If you like Indian food then you will love this recipe. AND it is so easy because it is a crock pot meal!


Ingredients:


1 (14oz) can coconut milk (I use the lite)
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 inch section of fresh ginger, peeled and minced
1 TBS tomato paste
1 1/2 TBS curry powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne
1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 medium sweet potato, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 red pepper, thinly sliced
1 orange pepper, thinly sliced
2 cups frozen mango cubes (I use 2 fresh mangos)
1/2 cup roasted cashews
juice of 1/2 lime
1/3 cup chopped cilantro




Stir together the first nine ingredients in the slow cooker. Add the chicken and turn it over a few times so that it is well coated. Put the sweet potato, onion, and peppers on top of the chicken.
Cover and cook for 4-6 hours on high or 7-9 hours on low.
Stir the mango, cashews, and lime juice into the curry, then cover and heat just until the mango is no longer frozen. (About 20 minutes)
Serve the curry with cilantro.

Slow Cooker Honey Sesame Chicken

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup honey
2 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce
1/2 onion, diced
2 1/2 Tbsp ketchup
1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced, pressed or grated
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1 Tbsp sesame seeds

Put chicken into crock pot. Meanwhile in a separate bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, onion, ketchup, oil, garlic and pepper flakes. Pour over chicken and mix,
Cook on low for 3-4 hours or on high 1 1/2 – 2 1/2 hours, or just until chicken is cooked through.
Remove chicken from the slow cooker leaving the sauce. Whisk the cornstarch into liquid in the crock pot, cover and cook the sauce on high for ten more minutes or until it just starts to thicken.
Shred chicken or cut into bite size pieces, return to the sauce and stir together. Serve over rice and with your favorite green vegetable.
