Slow Cooker Chinese Chicken Curry with Noodles Recipe
The ingredients are few and mostly store cupboard. My favourite way to cook.

- 4 Chicken Breasts or 600 grams chicken thighs (no bone in) diced into big chunks
- 1 large onion chopped into about 2 cm chunks
- 100 grams (3.5 oz) mango chutney
- 3 tbsp mild curry powder
- half tsp chinese five spice
- 400 mls tin coconut milk
- 300 grams (10.5 oz) dried egg noodles
- 350 mls chicken stock (made with 1 stock pot/cube)
- 200 grams (7oz) mange tout (sugar snaps) and baby sweetcorn
Add more spice to suit sister.
Method
Place the diced 4 chicken breasts, chopped onion, spices, mango chutney and coconut milk into the slow cooker pot. Give it a good gentle stir.

Cook on Low for 6 hours. 30 minutes before the end of cooking time put in the egg noodles and vegetables.

Pour in the stock and push the noodles down to make sure they are covered with the liquid.

Cook on High for 30 minutes. Stir the noodles loose and serve.
Add an extra splash or two of water if it all looks too dry.

Storage & Leftovers
Leftovers will keep very well covered in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Reheat till piping hot throughout, covered in the microwave or in a saucepan. It may need a splash or two of water to loosen the noodles.
You can freeze leftovers too in an air tight storage container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before thoroughly reheating until piping hot.
Top Tips & Tricks
- You could just use ready cooked noodles and in that case they just need to be added when you are almost ready to eat with enough time to be heated through until piping hot.
- Use chicken thighs to make this a more economical dish
- To make this dish in the oven use a casserole dish with lid and cook the first step in the oven at 180 C for an hour and then add the noodles, stock and vegetables for a further 15 minutes or until the noodles are soft and the vegetables tender.
- Add any vegetables to suit. It's a great way to use up leftover veg that is looking for a healthy job.
- Add more spice to the recipe by adding a pinch of chilli flakes
