Equipment

  • 3L Slow Cooker

Ingredients
 

  • 350 grams skinless chicken thigh fillet, sliced into strips
  • 1 small brown onion, sliced into thin strips/wedges
  • 1 cup sweet potato, cut into small cubes
  • 270 mls coconut cream
  • 70 grams Thai massaman curry paste - I always use Ayam
  • 2 tsp Brown sugar
  • 2 tsp Lime Juice
  • 2 tsp fish sauce
  • 2 tsp Corn Flour

Instructions
 

  • Add chicken, onion and sweet potato to 3L slow cooker
  • Combine all remaining ingredients and pour over
  • Cook on HIGH for 2hrs 30mins
  • Serves 4 if served with rice or 2 if served alone
  • Note: I specifically chose to cook on high for a faster cook. Great for a lunch recipe or for after work cooking. However, if you choose to cook longer on low instead, just be sure to check the sweet potato is lovely and tender before serving.
  • Note: This is a mild-medium heat level (closer to mild). Feel free to adapt amount of curry paste used to suit your tastes if you like it otherwise :)
