This recipe for Slow Cooker Chinese Chicken Curry with Noodles is a huge crowd pleaser. It's super easy and packed full of mild curry flavours and delicious five spice.

This is yet another dump and go recipe for super easiness, no browning necessary. Hurrah! A brilliant Fakeaway dish too.

A real tasty crowd pleaser with most kids loving the whole noodles thing and you can throw in whatever vegetables you might need to use up as long as they cook in 30 minutes or so.

The addition of the chinese five spice really is key here with it adding a touch of cool fragrant sweetness that makes the dish off the scale in the scrumptious moreish ranking. Slurp city.

Slow Cooker Chinese Chicken Curry with Noodles Recipe

The ingredients are few and mostly store cupboard. My favourite way to cook.

chicken breasts, coconut milk, curry powder, five spice, vegetables, onion, mango chutney, dried egg noodles in dishes on a white work surface and labelled with black text

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

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.

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
