Now that the weather is getting cooler, I am so into crock pot cooking!

Here is one of my favorite crockin’ recipes, paleo style. Organic ingredients of course!

 

Cilantro Chicken Curry

1-1/2 lb. of chicken- legs, thighs, breast cut up as desired

1 cup of chopped carrots

1 cup of chopped celery

2/3 cup diced onion

5 cloves garlic minced

1 cup of chopped cilantro

1 cup of diced japanese sweet potato or yam

chicken broth cover the ingredients

2 tsp of curry

salt as needed

ghee for coating the bottom of the ceramic crock pot

 

Lightly coat the bottom of the ceramic crock pot with ghee or healthy oil such as avocado or coconut oil.

First add the chicken, then all of the veggies on top of the chicken. Pour chicken broth on top until you cover the ingredients.

Turn on the crock pot at high level, then down to low after 1 hour. Add curry and cilantro. Continue on low until the chicken falls off the bone!

Enjoy!

BTW- you can add alternative flours such as brown rice or quinoa 15 minutes before serving to thicken the sauce as desired!
