Slow Cooker Cashew Chicken
Play the day away while this exotic, flavorful curry cooks carefree in the slow cooker.
Leftovers are even better the second day and are easily warmed up in the microwave. This can also be frozen in smaller batches.
Choose your curry powder carefully, or make your own by combining spices. Serious cooks create their own blends fresh each time from freshly ground spices. Commercial curries in the supermarket range from mild to fiery, so find a favorite and stay with it.
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken (white or dark)
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon each salt, pepper
2 cups cashew milk
2 tablespoons curry powder
2 cups matchstick carrots
Large onion, cut up
2 teaspoons minced garlic
15-ounce can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups cooked rice
Broken cashews
Spray the slow cooker insert with nonstick spray. Cut chicken in small bite size and shake in a bag with the cornstarch, salt and pepper. Set aside. Put cashew milk in the cooker and whisk in curry powder. Add chicken and vegetables. Cook 6 hours on Low or 3 hours on High. Stir in garbanzos and cooked rice. Cook another 15-20 minutes on High to heat through.
Spoon onto plates and sprinkle with broken cashews. Serves 4-6.
Alternate method: Cook rice separately and spoon the mixture over it.
