Instructions
- Place the cubed chicken breasts into the basin of a 4-quart or larger slow cooker.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the full-fat coconut milk, chicken broth, red curry paste, brown sugar, fish sauce, minced ginger, and minced garlic until the curry paste is fully dissolved and the mixture is uniform.
- Pour the coconut curry sauce mixture evenly over the chicken in the slow cooker, ensuring all pieces are submerged as much as possible.
- Cover the slow cooker. Cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours, or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
- Once cooked, use two forks to lightly shred the chicken directly in the sauce, or leave them as chunks depending on preference.
- Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary (add more fish sauce for saltiness or curry paste for heat). Serve hot over steamed jasmine rice, garnished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
Notes
For a thicker sauce, you can mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking. This recipe pairs wonderfully with Basmati or Jasmine rice.
