Slow Cooker Penang Chicken Curry Recipe

This creamy mild chicken curry is a great family-friendly recipe and you’ll love the fact that it cooks beautifully in the slow cooker in just a few hours!

The flavour comes from a jar of Penang curry paste – a mild Malaysian curry that goes perfectly with coconut milk and chicken. It’s not a spicy curry, but it is full of flavour and has a similar intensity as an Indian butter chicken, which makes it an ideal curry for children to enjoy as well.

Serve your curry with steamed greens, rice and roasted peanuts scattered on top.

Serves: 4
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 4 hours on Low, 2-3 hours on High
Difficulty: EASY

Note:
You can omit kaffir lime leaves and coriander if preferred. I did because I was unable to find any kaffir lime leaves in the fresh produce section at the supermarket and because I can’t stand coriander. It is the devil’s herb. 😀
