Break out your slow cookers because this clean eating curry chicken recipe is amazing!!

The love affair I have with my crock pot is currently bordering on obsession.

Just when I think I’ve run out of time to make dinner, I remember that I prepped it the night before and stuck it in the crock pot in the morning before I left. My stress level is instantly reduced to a manageable level.

In fact, I’m considering mixing up some crock pot blends in 1-gallon zip lock bags and tossing them in the freezer. I’ll make a whole bunch at one time. Then, all I have to do is grab a bag, toss it in the crock pot and head out the door. How’s that for an easy meal? (Ya, sometimes I’m just a little bit brilliant…. and arrogant…ehem…)

Clean Eating Curry Chicken shown up close. It sits on top of a bed of brown rice and shows the shredded chicken with a few raisins showing as well.

I got this recipe while surfing the net for crock pot recipe ideas. I came across the DisneyFamily.com web site and they had a recipe for curry chicken that sounded incredible. And to my great surprise, it was clean!

Then I realized that I didn’t have half of what I needed to make it, so I improvised, and wow. This is some seriously good chicken. I think the only thing I would change is to add more broth next time for extra gravy. But seriously, Disney can cook!

  2. Have you read about “The Big Cook”?
    Their concept is to batch cook, store in freezer bags, and then throw into oven/slow cooker, BBQ, etc. A great concept, but a lot of (okay ALL) of their recipes are not clean, because they rely heavily on items like BBQ sauce, ketchup, dry onion soup mix, etc. I’ve used my Cleaning Eating techniques to “clean up” some of their recipes. I do like the concept of grabbing something out of the freezer and throwing into the crock-pot too! It’s like you are making your own convenience food without all the sugar/sodium/preservatives!

    • Brenda – I will! Although, I recently found out that it’s not a good idea to put frozen food in a slow cooker. It takes longer for the food to arrive at the right temp, leaving more time for bacteria to grow on the food.

  5. Oh, yeah. I have to get my crock pot out again. It’s gotten coooooold and rainy here in central VA. I’m so craving hot soups and stews. And warmth. I just finished the antibiotic Monday and already my sinus infection is back. Acheyhead and face need comfort foods.

  8. I want to try this one!
    I only have boneless skinless chicken breast – will this alter the outcome of the recipe too much?

  9. Isn’t it great when you find a recipe and it’s already clean! I have a great curry recipe from my mom thats clean also! Always was! This one is just a little different and I’m gonna have to try it love the dried apricots! Thanks!

  11. Klop – We’re certainly hoping so! Just submitted the last of the recipes today and hope to have a manuscript to proof very soon!

  12. Kat – Hmmm. I’m not sure. The only way to find out would be to cook it without and add it after if you need it. Sorry, I know that doesn’t help much…

  15. This sounds delicious! I can’t wait to try it (when I have the ingredients on hand!) Thank you AGAIN for your amazing site.

  16. Sarah – Thank you! I actually have a slow cooker cookbook coming out in January that I co-authored with Gale Compton of Fit Fabulous Forever. All the recipes are based on clean eating, so you may enjoy it.

    • I would love to have that book! Where will it be sold? Looking forward to making your post from today too! You have made my life so much easier, and much more delicious too. =)

      • Sarah – Why thank you! I’m glad I could help! I will post the book here on my blog for sale when it’s available. It will be sold on QVC on Jan 8th and then everywhere else on Feb 9, including here on my blog.

  20. How do you think this would taste with coconut milk instead of chicken broth? Prepared the meal tonight so I can stick it in the crock tomorrow morning and realized we’re out of chicken stock!

  21. I’m curious about spices. Maybe you have this posted elsewhere but how do you know if your spices are clean? I pulled out my curry powder today and it lists “spices (including turmeric)” more clean spices but then also lists MSG.

    Reply

    • Sounds like you just need a different curry powder. There are some spices out there that are not clean. But for the most part, most are.

      Reply

    • You could try it, but I’m not sure it would be the same. It’s really tasty the way it is. But coconut milk is always worth a shot!

  23. I baked this recipe (didn’t get it in the crockpot in time!) and it came out wonderful! Wow! Flavors are SOOO delicious! I cooked organic Jasmine rice as a side!
