Can you make this with chicken thighs?

Absolutely! I have made this with thighs and breasts and it’s delicious either way, so feel free to use whatever you prefer or have to hand. Just cut it into pieces, stir into the sauce and you are good to go.

Can you make it ahead of time?

I love Crockpot dinners as you can set them to go earlier in the day and sit down to a delicious meal in the evening. Once you have made the chicken curry, it can sit in the Crockpot on the warm setting for up to 2 hours before serving.

Leftovers will keep well in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days and can be reheated on the stovetop.

What do you serve it with?

This yellow chicken curry is great to serve with basmati rice and naan. You can also serve it with cauliflower rice or noodles if you prefer.

I like to add some lime wedges and cilantro for freshness and stir in some peanuts for some added crunch.

  2. If you prefer your curries on the spicy side, you can add in some red chili peppers, chili flakes or some cayenne.

    haven’t made this yet – but will soon. my comment on the recipe involves the instructions on the card – as I believe you have mixed up the crockpot heat setting/times in #3 above.

        Hey I found another issue why is it more time to cook on high then on low. Number 3 Cover and cook for 3-4 hours on a low or 4-6 hours on high.

        Is it reversed?

      • Crockpot Chicken Curry (Yellow Chicken Curry) Recipe - Easy Chicken Recipes (19)Becky Hardin says

        Good catch! Yes, those times are reversed. I’ve just updated the recipe!

    I was getting my veggies and chicken prepped for this recipe and noticed your pictures show onions in the bowl and in the dish, yet the recipe doesn’t have any onion listed in the ingredients list?

    This curry is so amazing, I find with my slow cooker that even on low the addition of coconut milk always makes the sauce split, this recipe is perfect as its added right at the end, its creamy, delicious and a huge hit with the whole family! Thank you!

    The chicken was really dry and over cooked by the end of the cooking time. I’m going to try adding it an hour into cook time.

      Hi Sarah, all crockpots are a little different, so the cook times are guidelines. I would recommend cooking for less time!
