Equipment

  • 1 Slow Cooker

Ingredients

  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 2 Tablespoons thai red curry paste* see notes
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon real maple syrup or brown sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon minced ginger root
  • 1 Tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes diced
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 1 14 oz. can coconut milk
  • 1 extra large handful of spinach chopped
  • cilantro and limes to serve

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients except coconut milk and spinach in the slow cooker and stir to combine.
  • Cook in slow cooker on high for 4 hours.
  • Remove chicken and shred, then return to the pot.
  • Add coconut milk and spinach, and let sit for another 10 minutes or so, until spinach is wilted.
  • Serve over rice with a slice of lime juice and cilantro

Notes

*Thai curry paste can vary in intensity. Use caution, and start small, especially if you don’t want much heat. I like to add all the ingredients to the slow cooker except for chicken, then taste test and add more if needed.
