Time 7h30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 bone-in chicken thighs
2 tsp olive oil
6 carrots, cut in 2-inch chunks
1 medium sweet onion, cut in wedges
1 c unsweetened coconut milk
1/4 c mild (or hot) curry paste.....your choice
OPTIONAL: CHOPPED PISTACHIOS, GOLDEN RAISINS, CILANTRO AND/OR CRUSHED RED PEPPER FLAKES

Steps:

  • 1. Trim excess skin and fat from chicken. In a 12-inch skillet cook chicken, skin side down, in hot olive oil for 8 minutes, or until browned. (Do not turn thighs). Remove from heat; drain and discard fat.
  • 2. In a slow cooker combine carrots and onion. In a bowl, whisk together half of the coconut milk and the curry paste; pour over carrots and onion (refrigerate remaining coconut milk). Place chicken, skin side up, on vegetables. Cook on HIGH for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, or on LOW for 7 to 8 hours.
  • 3. Remove chicken to platter. Skim off excess fat, then stir in remaining coconut milk. Top each serving with your choice of pistachios, raisins, cilantro, and/or crushed red pepper flakes. Enjoy!
