Food that has been cooked in a slow cooker is not always pretty, but boy does this taste good! Clean Eating Slow Cooker Curried Chicken isn’t a curry, in as much as it is not sitting in a sauce, but it is the juiciest, most tender curried chicken you will ever eat.
Despite the fact that it is not a curry in a sauce, it is still delicious served over wholegrain rice. Alternatively, it would taste great with some Clean Eating Indian Naan Breads. Serve it up with some steamed green vegetables and it will be right up there with one of the best slow cooker meals you have ever eaten!
I used bone in chicken breasts because I think the flavour is better and you also get a lot more for your money. Just make sure that when you take the meat off the bone, you remove the small pin bones in the breast as well.

I don’t have a slow cooker so I did this dish in the oven! The chicken fell to bits and was really tasty. Another success!
That’s fantastic Tammy! I’m glad it worked out, it’s good to know that it can be done in the oven too! Thank you so much for the feedback 🙂
Can it be done with boneless chicken breast?
How can it be clean eating when it has onion and garlic granulals
Because it’s garlic/onion that has been dried and blended, nothing else added. Feel free to use fresh though 🙂 flavour won’t be quite the same.
