Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 can 14 ounces coconut milk
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup bell peppers chopped (any color)
  • 1 cup green beans trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil chopped
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 shallots thinly sliced

Method
 

  1. In a large crockpot, combine the chicken thighs, coconut milk, chicken broth, onion, garlic, ginger, red curry paste, soy sauce, brown sugar, turmeric, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
  2. Add the chopped bell peppers and green beans to the crockpot.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
  4. While the curry is cooking, prepare the crispy shallot basil oil. In a small skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
  5. Add the sliced shallots and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped basil.
  6. Once the curry is done, shred the chicken in the crockpot using two forks and stir to combine.
  7. Serve the curry hot, drizzled with the crispy shallot basil oil on top.
