So if you haven’t figured out what leftovers is by now, you’re a little late to the party. It’s cool. You brought beer right? Kidding. I hate beer. It tastes like feet water. Don’t say no. I’m right. Maybe it’s because I’m so young, I still don’t like the taste of alcohol. Maybe. Or maybe because I’d rather waste my calories away on dark chocolate binges and late night serenades with sea side cheddar. Mmmm I love seaside cheddar.
Holy crap, I didn’t even tell you what leftovers means. No, it’s not the leftovers I had in my fridge. It’s a meal I have made in the past, loved, and wanted to make again since my pictures sucked ass back then. This post shows the disgusting picture that was taken back in the day when I was working 4 jobs and only used my camera phone at 5am. So, anyone who still had the balls to try out the recipe, EVEN AFTER looking at the picture, I love you. And applaud your bravery.
I fasted yesterday. A really long time. Like 26 hours long time. I’m going to teach you something so you never make the same mistake I do. So listen closely.
Do not, I repeat DO NOT, fast for 26 hours, while on your monthly gift, and attempt a Regionals wod…all on a Monday. Just don’t do it. Yes, I understand I just lost 10 male readers purely on the fact I said “monthly gift”, but I do not care. It’s all a terrible idea and I wish it on no one. I cried staring at the pull up bar. I cried sitting on the floor after the workout. I cried on my drive home to fix my makeup. AND I cried while doing my makeup. Are you serious Juli? Get your sh*t together. You’ve had your monthly gift, MONTHLY, for 10+ years now. If you don’t know how to control your emotions at this point, there’s no hope.
On the up side…oh wait…there is no up side. I’m kidding people, I’m not that negative. Up side: it was super hot today and my pants got so sweaty, it looked like I peed myself. Always searching for the awkward happiness in the small thing. Positive Polly right here.

I don’t know what I did wrong. It’s not at all good 🙁 I’ve loved everything from your site, so I know it’s me. When you say ground ginger do you mean ground fresh (like in a food processor) or the dried stuff? Maybe I used too much curry and not enough coconut milk? It’s super watery.
Dried ginger, but fresh would be fine as well! Definitely could be too much coconut milk
Second crockpot meal I have made from you– so good! Haven’t let me down yet! Can’t wait to try more! Thanks!
Loved loved this!! My husband bowed on his knees after this dinner 🙂 BOOM!!!
I reallllly love this curry! I’ve made it 4 times now and last time I added in chopped carrots and it was delish and today i added in some baby corns – so we will see how that turns out.
I haven’t had a bad recipe from you yet – love that!!!
And hey even my 2 yr old son loves this curry – that’s definitely a big honour 😉
Sorry i meant to rate it a 6 out of 5!!!!
This curry is amazing! So easy. Just throw everything into the slow cooker and dinner is served! I am always looking for good curry recipes that taste great and this one definitely does the trick! I’m making it again tomorrow.
Juli – you are an awesome person. Keep up the good work and btw, your cookbook is most radical!
This was absolutely fantastic! I only had fresh ginger, so grated some of that and threw it in and really like how it turned out. The chicken just fell apart and was perfection. I got a little carried away with the red pepper flakes so it certainly packed some punch 🙂
I served it with some cauliflower rice and it was a huge hit!
To the ladies above, yea, crossfit is intimidating when you first do it but if you stick with it you will find yourself addicted!
That being said, did you mean 4-6 tablespoons curry? I just made this and it packs one HELL of a punch!
haha yep!! i love curry so that’s something you gotta decide on your own, i guess
The recipe does not say, do you cut the breasts or do you leave them whole? How many did you use?
Whole
So good! I didn’t have enough ginger or curry so I didn’t put as much as the recipe says but it was delicious and not too spicy for my kids. I shredded the chicken and poured it and the sauce over steamed broccoli and my kidds (3 &4.5) loved it! Definitely a new favorite for us.
