  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the chicken breasts, chicken broth, coconut milk, red curry paste, fish sauce, diced onion, minced garlic, and sliced red bell pepper into the Crockpot, ensuring all ingredients are evenly mixed.
  2. Slow Cook: Cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, allowing the chicken to cook thoroughly and the flavors to meld together beautifully.
  3. Shred Chicken: Remove the chicken breasts from the Crockpot and shred them using two forks for tender pieces. Return the shredded chicken back into the soup.

  • Serve with steamed jasmine rice for a complete meal.
  • Adjust fish sauce quantity if you need less saltiness.
