Notes
Chicken: Skinless and boneless chicken thighs are best for this recipe as they’re not dry and they shred up really well. You can use breast if you prefer, but beware it might be drier
Onion: I have a pack of frozen onion in stock for these slow cooker recipes, as it means we don’t even have to chop anything up beforehand. Just dump it all in!
Garlic and ginger: Again, I use the cheat version of these from a jar to reduce the prep time. You can use fresh if you prefer though
Curry powder: I use mild curry powder for this, which I would recommend if you’re serving to children especially, but it’s down to personal preference
Noodles: I use the dried egg noodles that take just a short time to soften in with the juices once the meat and sauce is almost done in the slow cooker
Vegetables: I like to have this with green beans, but you can use anything else you have in or prefer. Peas would be great
To reheat: Just refresh with a splash of water or an ice cube when you’re reheating to stop it from drying out
If you have too much sauce: There is usually sauce left in the slow cooker once the chicken is cooked and you haven’t yet put in the noodles. The noodles may soak up the sauce, but some brands of noodles may not. If it’s a little runny, you can thicken the sauce by adding 1 tbsp of cornflour mixed with 2 tbsp water and stir through the cooked dish
Chilli: Omit if you don’t like any spice
