How To Make curried chicken stew

  • 1
    Trim excess skin and fat from chicken. In a 12-inch skillet cook chicken, skin side down, in hot olive oil for 8 minutes, or until browned. (Do not turn thighs). Remove from heat; drain and discard fat.
  • 2
    In a slow cooker combine carrots and onion. In a bowl, whisk together half of the coconut milk and the curry paste; pour over carrots and onion (refrigerate remaining coconut milk). Place chicken, skin side up, on vegetables. Cook on HIGH for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, or on LOW for 7 to 8 hours.
