SLOW COOKER BASIL CHICKEN IN COCONUT CURRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Remove the skin from the chicken using your fingers and a serrated knife. Salt and pepper each thigh.
• Heat a large skillet to medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon oil (or you can use nonstick spray).
• When the oil is hot, add 3 chicken thighs. Don't put them too close together, you want to avoid steaming.
• Cook for about 2 minutes, until nicely browned on the bottom. Then flip the chicken over to brown the other side for about 1-2 minutes.
• Remove the chicken to a plate.
• Repeat searing process with the other 3 chicken thighs. If there is still enough grease in the pan then you don't need to add more oil.
• Meanwhile, in a crock pot combine coconut milk, basil, 2 teaspoons salt, 3/4 teaspoon pepper, yellow curry, and chili powder (to taste). Stir to combine.
• Add the chopped red onions, garlic, and jalapenos.
• Add the browned chicken and stir to combine.
• Cook on high for 4-5 hours, or on low for 6-8 hours.
• Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and transfer to a plate or cutting board. Let cool for a couple minutes.
• Add the ginger to the slow cooker.
• In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and 1 tablespoon COLD water. Stir until it's not lumpy. Add this to the crock pot and stir.
• Shred the chicken, removing the bones and any tough bits. It should just be falling apart.
• Return the meat to the slow cooker and stir. Return the lid and cook for another 10 minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the cilantro.
• Serve with rice, cauliflower rice, or naan.

SLOW-COOKED COCONUT CHICKEN

SLOW COOKER BASIL CHICKEN AND COCONUT CURRY RECIPE - (3.7/5)

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and, once oil is shimmering, sear both sides of (seasoned) chicken thighs in batches, making sure to let oil heat up again before searing the next batch. Combine coconut milk, dried basil, curry powder, chili powder, and salt and pepper to the slow cooker and stir together until incorporated. Place seared chicken, red onions, jalapeños and garlic to the slow cooker, and stir everything together. Cover slow cooker and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours, or on low for 6 to 8, until chicken is cooked through. Once cooked through, use two forks to shred into small pieces. Create a slurry by whisking cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water in a small bowl or glass. Once smooth, pour slurry, along with fresh ginger, into the slow cooker. Return shredded chicken to the slow cooker, then stir everything together. Cover and cook for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until mixture has thickened. Stir in fresh basil and cilantro, then serve with sticky rice or naan.

COCONUT AND BASIL CHICKEN

Steps:

• Rub chicken with salt and pepper and pan fry with coconut oil until cooked through. Remove from pan, shred and keep warm.
• Add more oil, garlic, ginger and lemongrass to pan and cook for a couple of minutes, add fish sauce and then stir in stock and coconut cream and cook until starts to thicken (around 5 mins). Add snow peas and cook until just cooked.
• Divide chicken between bowls and spoon over coconut sauce and sprinkle basil leaves, lime leaves and chilli.

BASIL CHICKEN WITH FETA (SLOW COOKER)

Steps:

• I use skin-on, bone-in chicken. I browned the chicken and froze it, and put it in a 4 quart slow cooker frozen. Stephanie used skinless boneless and just put it in the slow cooker.
• Add the entire can of tomatoes, the chickpeas (rinse and drain if using canned - I cook from dried), green olives, basil leaves, and feta cheese. (I found 4 ounces to be enough, she used 8 ounces).
• Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours. Mine was done without falling apart at 7 hours and I would test at 5 hours if using not-frozen chicken. Serve chicken and the copious juices over rice or couscous.
