Slow Cooker Marmalade Curry Chicken Recipe
Its the first day of school. The baby is at my feet playing with computer cords and chewing on my slippers. Shes crawled in and out of her sisters room a few times, and seems genuinely surprised that they arent there to shove her back out. The American Girl dolls smell faintly like spit-up.
I dont know anything about this.
nothing at all.
Heres a super simple chicken dish you can throw into the pot before you head out the door to conquer the world. Or the PTA.
same thing.
The Ingredients.
serves 4
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves or thighs
1 (18-ounce) jar orange marmalade (it can be sugar-free organic if thats the kind of thing that makes you happy. its all good.)
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (I didnt find this hot. if youve got a wussy palate, dont use so much.)
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup chicken broth
The Directions.
Use a 4 quart slow cooker. Put the chicken into the bottom of your slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine the marmalade with the dry spices and chicken broth. Youll end up with a slimy orange gel that smells like ginger. Pour this on top of the chicken. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours, or on high for about 4. If when fully cooked the chicken isnt quite as moist as youd like, you can cut it into strips, then return it to the pot to soak in even more of the yummy sauce. Serve over brown basmati rice.
The Verdict.
The chicken gets a neat brown shiny glaze when its cooked in this sauce. We all really liked the flavor, and there was hardly any left for my lunch the next day. Danielle, whos an EMT in New Jersey sent me this recipe. She really likes how she can rely on the crockpot to deliver a healthy, hot meal with very little time invested on her end. Theres no chopping in this meal, but if youd like to throw in some carrots, onion, or celery---go for it!
Thank you, Danielle!!
