Slow Cooker Chicken Curry is one of the easiest weeknight dinners. It’s a Japanese curry, which is similar to a stew, unlike Indian curry, which is really spice heavy.

I really like curry. It’s one of my favorite meals. But we’ve always made it so simply … with curry mix. I’ve never made my own and had chicken curry taste as good as it does with the mix.
Which is actually crazy to say because I almost never use anything packaged when I’m cooking. I even make taco seasoning from scratch.
But curry mix? I need it from the package. And it needs to be S&B Golden Curry. This isn’t even a sponsored post for them. It just is my favorite.
You can make curry according to the recipe on the package, but I created a recipe that goes in the slow cooker. It’s so much easier that way. You don’t have to babysit your dinner when you’re making Slow Cooker Chicken Curry.
I will make chicken curry on the stove sometimes and it tastes the same regardless of it I make it on the stove or in the slow cooker. It just really depends on how far ahead of dinnertime you prepare.

Slow Cooker Chicken Curry Ingredients:
You can get the full list of ingredients with measurements in the recipe card below.
- Carrots – Carrots add a nice sweetness to balance the savory curry.
- Onions – Onions add a sweetness and help to thicken the curry.
- Potatoes – Potatoes are a traditional curry ingredient. We use Russet or Idaho potatoes because they can hold up to cooking in the slow cooker.
- S&B Golden Curry curry mix – I grew up on this specific curry mix and it’s the only one I use. You can choose either mild or medium, depending on your family’s tastebuds.
- Chicken broth – This helps to liquify the curry mix.
- Salt – This helps to bring out all the flavors in the recipe.
- Chicken – I prefer chicken breast, but you can use any parts of the chicken that your family prefers.
How To Make Slow Cooker Chicken Curry:

Wash and peel the carrots.
Cut them into small pieces and put them in the slow cooker.

Slice the onion and add it to the slow cooker.

Wash the potatoes. Don’t worry about peeling them.
Dice them into small pieces and add them to the slow cooker.

Put the S&B Golden Curry curry mix, chicken broth, and salt into a slow cooker.
Cook on high for three hours.

Open the slow cooker and put the chicken at the bottom of the slow cooker. Close the top and cook on high for 90 minutes.
Pull the chicken out and cut it into chunks. Stir it back into the curry.
Serve over rice.

This sounds good and very easy. What temp does your slow cooker reach on high as these days they all vary? 90min slow cooking frozen chicken does not sound much but it obviously works with yours.

According to this (https://www.crock-pot.com/tips-for-perfect-crockpot-slow-cooker-meals.html), high tops out at 205 F on a Crock Pot branded slow cooker (which is what we have). Ninety minutes is long enough for frozen chicken breast tenderloins to cook to 165 F (be sure to check your temperature, if you think your slow cooker cooks lower). I wouldn't cook a frozen whole chicken for that time.

Sorry for the ignorance but how much water do you put in per curry cube?

For this slow cooker recipe, we just use 1 cup of chicken broth as the liquid. No water.

Sounds good. Thanks for sharing! I'm vegetarian, so won't have the chicken, but maybe I can do a variation of it. I'd like to start incorporating curry into my recipes.
