What Makes This Dish So Tasty
Rich in rich, comforting flavors that develop beautifully in the slow cooker. It’s easy to prepare and perfect for busy days when you want a warm, satisfying meal without spending hours in the kitchen. The tender chicken and fragrant spices make it a family favorite.
Step 1
Layer the onion, chicken, butter, garlic, carrots, potatoes, and cauliflower right into your slow cooker. Sprinkle the curry powder, turmeric, chile flakes, ginger, salt, and pepper evenly over everything. Pour in just enough chicken stock to almost cover the ingredients.
Step 2
Set the slow cooker to low and let it cook away for about 8 hours. If you’re around, give it a gentle stir now and then. Once the cooking time is up, mix the flour into the slow cooker and let it simmer for another 10 to 15 minutes until the sauce thickens nicely.
