I adapted Orange Curried Chicken to cook in the crockpot. This delicious recipe, using orange juice, bell peppers, onion, and curry powder, is a fabulous dish for company.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 6 hours
Total Time: 6 hours, 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1" pieces
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1" pieces
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 Tbsp. curry powder
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3/4 cup whipping cream
- 3 Tbsp. cornstarch
- Hot cooked rice
- Chutney
- More curry powder
- Cashew pieces
Preparation:
In 3-4 quart crockpot, combine onion, peppers, garlic, orange juice, water, salt, and curry powder and mix well. Top with chicken. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours. Remove chicken and cut into strips. Return to crockpot; cook covered on low for 2-3 hours longer until chicken is thoroughly cooked.
In small bowl, combine whipping cream and cornstarch and blend with wire whisk. Stir into crockpot, turn heat to high, and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring once, until sauce thickens. Serve over hot cooked rice with chutney, more curry powder, and condiments. Serves 4-6
If you have a new, hotter cooking crockpot, cook on low for 5-6 hours. Check the chicken at 4-1/2 hours to see if it is thoroughly cooked.
