With the cold, windy weather getting ready to blow through, I’m planning a crockpot convention here at YHIOYP! Over the coming two weeks, I will post four wonderful fabulous nutritious economical and delicious recipes for your crockpot. If you don’t have a crockpot (which you should!), you can substitute a regular soup pot or a dutch oven.

Crockpot Recipe #1 is Chicken Curry. Eat it right out of the bowl, or poured over cooked grains (like brown rice or quinoa), or steamed greens (like swiss chard or kale), or even cubes of roasted squash.
First ingredients:
First ingredients:
1 large onion, in quarters
1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken (free-range, grass-fed, organic if possible)
4 large carrots, peeled and cut into thick slices
2-3 medium tomatoes, diced
1 small can coconut milk
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon curry powder
2 teaspoons sea salt
1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken (free-range, grass-fed, organic if possible)
4 large carrots, peeled and cut into thick slices
2-3 medium tomatoes, diced
1 small can coconut milk
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon curry powder
2 teaspoons sea salt
Set aside:
1 cup peas, fresh or frozen
1/2 cup peanuts
1/2 cup peanuts
chopped cilantro (or parsley if you prefer)
Place all the first ingredients into your crockpot or soup pot, beginning with the onions and meat. Cover, and cook on the low setting for 8 hours. If you’re using a soup pot, add 1 cup extra water before cooking, place the covered pot in the oven, and set the temperature to 225F. Then check it in 4 hrs, and add more water if necessary.
Just before serving, stir in the peas, re-cover the pot, and let it sit for a minute. Sprinkle each serving with peanuts and chopped cilantro. Serves 4-6.
