Ingredients

  • Spice blend:
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon coriander
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder (Indian chili powder not Mexican)
  • teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 4 cloves garlic; grated/minced
  • 1-2 tablespoon honey to taste
  • ¼ cup cilantro; chopped reserving a bit for garnish
  • 1-15 oz can chicken broth
  • 1-15 oz can crushed tomatoes
  • 2 lbs large 4 small sweet potatoes; cubed (about 1¾ .)
  • 2 lbs chicken thighs boneless/skinless
  • 2 green bell peppers; sliced
  • 1 small onion; sliced
  • 2 cups peas frozen

Instructions

  • Directions:
  • Add the chicken, onions, sweet potatoes, and bell peppers to the slow cooker.
  • In a small bowl, add all the dried seasonings, garlic and whisk in the chicken broth until the spices are well blended.
  • Add the crushed tomatoes to the spiced broth and mix well.
  • Add the honey and cilantro, and once blended, pour over the chicken and vegetables in the slow cooker.
  • Place the lid and cook on low for 4-6 hours or until the chicken has been cooked through and the sweet potatoes are tender.
  • The last 20 minutes of cooking, add the frozen peas, mix well, replace the lid and allow them to heat through.
  • Garnish with the reserved bit of cilantro.
  • Note: I wanted it slightly thicker, less soupy, so the last hour or so of cooking, I removed the lid to allow the liquid to evaporate a bit. This is a matter of personal choice.
