\"Zoe's<\/a><\/p>\n

This past weekend, I invited my best friend and her family up to our house for dinner. \u00a0Instead of trying to make a meatloaf large enough to feed eight people, I decided to use my two crockpots to save time and effort in my prep. \u00a0In the one, a mushroom pot roast. \u00a0In the other, I made a lightly curried pot of chicken thighs. \u00a0I wasn’t sure if my friends’ kids would like it – they’re eight and ten years old, and I didn’t know if it would be a hit. \u00a0Ten year-old Zoe took one bite and her face lit up. \u00a0“Mama,” she excitedly told my friend, “you have to ask Dana for this recipe so you can make it at home!” \u00a0I have to tell you, I’ve never been so proud of a recipe in all my life! \u00a0This, then, will be called Zoe’s Crockpot Chicken<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You can use one or two pounds of boneless, skinless chicken thighs. \u00a0If you use one pound, you’ll have more sauce, and will probably want to serve this over rice or noodles. \u00a0If you use two pounds, like I did this time, it’s a thicker stew and doesn’t need anything under it – but jasmine rice would certainly be delicious. \u00a0Use any store-bought curry powder you like. \u00a0I have two, and the one I used this time was just a $4 jar from Trader Joe’s – nothing fancy. \u00a0I also used half a head of cauliflower, diced. \u00a0It doesn’t add much to the flavor, but it adds nutrition and body to the sauce. \u00a0I like to garnish with a big dollop of plain yogurt, and if you have cilantro, sprinkle some of that on top. \u00a0If you need a quick chicken dish that promises to please grown-ups and kids alike, check this one out.<\/p>\n
