Do you ever have a day when you really, really can't face spending time in the kitchen, but at the same time, you crave a "proper" (i.e., not takeaway pizza) dinner? We were having one of those days. We'd cleaned the house from floor to ceiling, we'd done the supermarket shopping for the week. We were tired and sooo hungry. Here was our solution to this.
The Cheater's Thai Green Chicken Curry
You will need:
Some chicken pieces (we used a mixture of thighs and drumsticks)
1 x onion, chopped
1 x courgette, chopped (totally optional, we only used it because it had been hanging out in our fridge for WEEKS)
1 x tin coconut milk
3 tsps green curry paste
Noodles (the kind that only require a brief immersion in hot water to be cooked)
How to cheat:
Bust out your slow cooker. Oh yeah! Whack in your chopped onion, courgette and chicken pieces. Pour over the tin of coconut milk and stir in the curry paste. Put the lid on your slow cooker and go off to have some fun for about four hours. (We went to the cinema. We saw Captain America. I very much enjoyed Dominic Cooper's shocking American accent. Also, Chris Evans' chest.)
After about four hours of cooking, take the lid of the slow cooker so the sauce has a chance to thicken up. Cook your noodles, throw everything into a bowl, and serve. Yummy....and no effort whatsoever.
