Normally I make chicken curry on my stove-top. But this contains all my usual ingredients, goes together quickly, and bakes all by itself. So it can be a time saver.
I've never tried this in a crock pot, but it should work well like that, too.

How to Make Curried Chicken Casserole

Step-by-Step

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 3-quart casserole dish.
Cut chicken thighs into bite-sized chunks, about 1" pieces. Place in casserole dish. Stir together the rest of the casserole ingredients (rice through evaporated milk) and pour into casserole. Cover with well-fitting lid or tight-fitting aluminum foil.
Bake for 40 minutes. Stir together topping ingredients. Uncover casserole and sprinkle with topping. Return to oven and bake until topping is browned, about 15-20 minutes.
