Ingredients




4 pounds bone-in chicken thighs, skin removed and fat trimmed
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup cornstarch
3 tablespoons coconut oil
3 tablespoons mild or sweet curry powder
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 tablespoon turmeric
2 medium white onions, chopped
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
Salt to taste
2 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth (I used homemade, click here for the recipe.)
3 tablespoons soy sauce (substitute with coconut aminos for a gluten-free version of this recipe)
1 1/2 pounds red potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch pieces
4 medium carrots, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup frozen peas
2 Roma tomatoes, chopped
1 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup fresh cilantro

Preparation

1 Season chicken with salt and pepper and coat with cornstarch, set aside. 2 Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add curry powder, garam masala and turmeric and cooking until fragrant, about 10 seconds. 3 Stir in onions, jalapeño pepper, garlic, ginger, tomato paste and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring often, until the onions are lightly browned and softened, about 10 minutes. 4 Add chicken broth into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits. 5 Add soy sauce or coconut aminos. Stir well. Cook until slightly thickened. Remove from heat. 6 Place potatoes and carrots in a 6-quart slow cooker, followed by the chicken. 7 Pour the curry sauce over the chicken. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until the chicken is tender. 8 Let the cooking liquid settle for 5 minutes and remove fat from the surface using a big spoon. Stir in peas, tomatoes, coconut milk and cilantro. Let it stand until the peas and tomatoes are heated through, about 5 minutes or longer. 9 Taste, season with salt and pepper if desired before serving.
