  • 1/2 onion, finely minced

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 2 teaspoons curry powder

  • 1-2 teaspoons curry paste ( I used Thai Red Curry Paste and 2 teaspoons)

  • 2 tablespoons garam masala

  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (use less if you are not a spicy person)

  • 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk, regular or lite (I used regular), plus more if needed to thin the sauce

Instructions

  1. In a large glass measuring cup or bowl mix together the coconut milk, greek yogurt and cream

  3. Spray the inside of your crockpot bowl with cooking spray or grease with olive oil

  4. Sprinkle the onion over the bottom of the slow cooker and add the chicken and then pour the coconut milk mixture over the chicken so the chicken is completely covered
