This recipe was yet another one that I found when I was innocently browsing Pinterest. I honestly wasn't even sure I would like it, I tend to avoid spicy foods, and since it was an Indian dish I was afraid it would be spicy. But nothing sounded too intimidating on the list of ingredients, so I thought I would go ahead and give it a shot. If you want to try this recipe too, you can find it by clicking here, or going to my Pinterest "recipes" board. This recipe is from the blog called Slow Cooker Gourmet. So, this recipe was super simple, I just cut up two pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breast and added the rest of the ingredients (spices, curry paste, coconut milk, tomato paste, etc.) and left it all in the crock pot on a low setting for about 8 hours! The end result was different than I expected, but very good. The very first time I had it, my nose ran for a couple of minutes after I finished eating, and I wonder if it was because of the spices. But it didn't taste spicy at all, there was absolutely no burning sensation in my mouth was I was eating the dish. I think my sinuses just needed to get used to the new spices in the dish! :)
The chicken had a very thick sauce around it, and a very, well, buttery taste to it! It can lay a bit heavy on your stomach, and the first couple of times I ate it I needed to wash it down by drinking lots of water and milk. Not because of the spices, but because of the density of the entire dish! Eating rice with it helps with the denseness immensely. Overall, I give this recipe a 4 out of 5. It is very good, and very easy to make, but it can sit very heavy on your stomach, and it tastes "interesting" if you aren't used to the spices that are used in the dish. Honestly, I will definitely be making this recipe again, but maybe not too soon. :) Don't be afraid to be creative, Nicole
