Crock Pot Basil Coconut Curry

I love a good curry, especially a creamy coconut-milk based curry. This delicious curry has the flavor of lime, fresh ginger, curry powder, cumin, turmeric, and a touch of cinnamon.

TIPS FOR MAKING CROCK POT BASIL COCONUT CHICKEN

This Crock Pot Basil Coconut Chicken isn’t too spicy. Double the amount of jalapeno or add 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.

You could substitute boneless, skinless chicken thighs for the chicken breasts, but you’ll want to add 30 to 60 minutes to the cooking time.

Storage

Leftovers will keep for 4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in microwave.
