This recipe is part of the latest 21 Gluten Free Meals from Costco Plan [2].

This recipe is part of the 20 Slow Cooker Freezer Packs from Costco for $150 [3]meal plan. Note that this is written as a single recipe, but is doubled in the Costco meal plan, so you will have enough ingredients to make 2 packs.

So I was chatting with my friend Christan about my Slow Cooker Maple Chicken [6]recipe that I recently shared on $5 Dinners. She fixed it for her family and her girls (like my boys) couldn’t get enough.

We got to talking about recipes and slow cookers at our last MOPS meeting and she told me about a very similar recipe that she makes…but it’s curry and not maple. It’s almost identical…swapping out the maple for coconut milk and curry powder. The rest of the ingredients and the cooking method are the same!

Couple notes:

  1. My kids loved this just as much as they did the Maple Chicken. I just had to convince them that the “yellow stuff” (colored from the curry powder) was really chicken. They goobled up their sweetened curried carrots and sweet potatoes without any prompting. (A mother’s dream…for her child to eat their vegetables without coersion being involved.)
  2. If you open your coconut milk and it’s hard and white on the top, don’t fret. It’s natural for coconut milk to separate. Just spoon it all into the slow cooker and whisk it up until it’s creamy.
