- Hey guys :) I hope you’re having a great day so far and welcome back to what’s for tea, and I hope I find you all very well.
Tonight for tea I made a very easy Chinese takeaway style chicken curry in the slow cooker.
This has such a lovely authentic Chinese takeaway flavour and is a nice ‘saucy’ chicken curry…this will be enough for 4 generous servings but if you’re feeding more folk, add a little more chicken…it just won’t be as saucy :) Thanks for popping over and let me know if you decide to give it a go, take care guys x
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Serves 4 generously
3 chicken breasts/around 600g chopped into bite sized pieces
1 Medium potato, chopped into bite sized pieces
1 Large onion, chopped
1 Jalapeño pepper, finely diced or green chilli pepper
4 Cloves of garlic finely diced or 2 teaspoons minced garlic
4-5 Tablespoons (30g) of curry powder
1 Standard can of coconut milk (400ml)
300ml water
1 Star anise
*Optional 1 teaspoon cornflour/cornstarch with a little water and mix in at the end to thicken*
*Optional garden peas or bell peppers add 30 minutes before serving*
Lovely with plain steamed/boiled short grain rice, fried rice or noodles….lovely with chips/fries too :)

15 months later and I have this in the slow cooker for tonight! Thank you! (only found your channel about 3 weeks ago! LOVE it!)
Have to say Cheryl I have tried quite a few of your recipes with a great deal of success. I’m an Australian married to a Yorkshire man your recipes hit home with him xx
I don’t why but I could listen to the Scottish accent for hours, so friendly and calming
You are like the Bob Ross of cooking! I love your channel, it’s so welcoming 😊
Absolutely amazing recipe, I canny wait to try it out 👍 take away currys cost a bomb nowadays
Came across these videos yesterday Cheryl and you have sold a slow cooker to me. As soon as I received it, I'll be cooking this and the Beef Stew and other dishes you've created. Looks so easy to follow and I'll update you all soon!! :)
Ooohhhh i’d never thought of using mayflower in the slow cooker - will have to give this a try - thanks for sharing xxx
The combination of the Mayflower and coconut milk is unbelievable Jo!! Delish :)
I love mayflower curry sauce and I also love peas in my curry first time I ever tried it was from a Chinese in Ayr , Iv never thought of cooking it in the slow cooker must give it a go, I love the slow cooker for convenience, great recipe Cheryl loving your channel and happy to see it growing in subscribers X
The combination of the coconut milk & Mayflower curry sauce is AMAZING!! A must try hun :) You'll love this x
My favourite pub does a lovely chicken curry served on half rice/half chips. I get this every time. So good :-)
I know what I will be making this weekend, and funny enough peas always go with Chinese curry :-) Thank you, so much for sharing this recipe it looks delicious and I'm so glad I found your channel :-)
Hi Joe :) This is a definite MUST try! If you like a takeaway curry, you'll really enjoy this. Please let me know if you decide to make it and how it went...ta x
This was my first dish of Cheryl's that I tried as Im new here....it was fabulous and the peas are a pleasant surprise and a nice change to this dish....really really good....many thanks Cheryl!
I love the video of your hometown!
Wow this is on tonight's tea,looks lush THANKS
Just made this can't wait, I have tried to get the same curry powder, but they don't have it in Australia, when the borders open up I will be ordering it from the UK.
Thanks for the receipt,will give it a try I love slow cooker meals 🙂
Brilliant!! Let me know how you get on, I'm going to be doing an updated version of this recipe soon 🤩
My goodness, I am salivating! Right, I have to give this a try. Many thanks. :)
Looks SO delicious!
It really was Rebecca! Really easy too :)
I will make this and I think its needs to be a little thicker for me. I love your channel and your cooking.
This is a cracking curry :) Just pop in an extra bit of thickener if you want it thicker. Thanks for watching Sandra
Looks incredible!!!! Yum❣️❣️❣️
Incredible dish, love it so much. ❤️👍 Thank you 🙏
Love it
It was delicious Barry! :)
I'm starvin watching this..love you're warm homey voice..thanks
Yum this looks delicious will for sure give this a go
Please do Sarah! :) It's delicious
Looks lovely
It really was :)
Hi Cheryl, I just found your channel sometime last week and had to subscribe immediately! And after watching you make this beautiful looking curry I went straight to the supermarket and into the kitchen :) I do not like peas so i substituted them with carrots, which actually tastes very nice. And I do not have a slow cooker which is why I made it the old fashioned way with a pot on the stove. it worked out fine though i was a little apprehensive at first... Anyways, thanks for this wonderful meal and I am looking forward to cooking with you in the future! :)
Ah thank you very much! :) Welcome
Made this today. Really tasty. To thicken I used Bisto chicken gravy granules. Really worked well.
Make sure you use hot curry powder or add half a tea spoon of cayenne to medium. You really need the heat. I had this with pasta and it tasted great.
agree on the extra spices .....but NOOOO to the pasta !.......sticky rice is fab !
So you added Bisto to a curry and then had the sheer audacity to serve it with pasta. Are you kidding on ? 🤢
Looks gorgeeous
Wonderful delicious recipe.....for me peas are only good to use in a sling shot lol. Thank you again for expanding my curry cooking knowledge
Mmmm. Looks delicious Cheryl. Looks just like the bought ones. 👍
Brilliant had ours with homemade chips.....yummy mummy meow jasper.........stay safe.....
Yep definitely making this. Thankyou 👍🏼
Please do Mean :) Let me know how it goes please! Thanks for stopping by x
*Mena x
My boys will love this! xx
Please give it a go Becky! It's super easy....and such a tasty curry. The star anise is quite important though...so pop one in :) xxx
I love all of your recipes and I have subscribe to your channel and I love this chicken curry thank for the listing of ingredient may God Bless 🙏
Thank you so much! :)
I use the same curry powder it's so good xx
Try this wee recipe Justine...the coconut milk with the Mayflower is AMAZING!!! Even my cat tried to get his paw in the slow cooker :D lol. Thanks for stopping by x
@@WhatsForTea I will give it a go xx
Wow your curry looks so yummie. Broccoli would also be good to add, if ppl dont like peas.
Oh broccoli would be nice Bonita :) cauliflower is lovely in a curry too! Thanks for stopping by
Tried making the Chinese curry tonight and it was good but unfortunately put too much curry powder in or didn't mix too well before putting the sauce in and it wasn't as nice looking as yours. Either way I'll be making it again.
Thank you for your recipe Cheryl.
Hi quite new to your channel, you are a fantastic cook, did your batter recipe last night with haddock, chips & mushy peas yum, yum👍
Do you really have to linger on the finished result? It’s 9.30 a m and I’m drooling here, but I know what I’m having for my tea 😂😂😂🏴👍
Many thanks for your recipe.
Delicious! Thumbs up xx
It's a must try Rosie :) So delish! x
i would like to add a teaspoon of tumuric and a teaspoon of coriander powder and leave out the tatties but add some green pepper instead and some sliced water chestnuts .....serve with sticky rice !
btw if you dont have any star anise use half a teaspoon of chinese 5 spice. thank me later !
Have this in the slow cooker now 😍. Never thought to use coconut milk with mayflower ❤ xx
Aw brill! :) Let me know how it comes out....we LOVE IT. The Mayflower works amazingly well with the coconut milk. Mind and let me know! x
My mouth is watering! May I ask where you buy the Mayflower curry powder from please? x
Hiya :) I get mine from B&M
Looks lovely!! Xx
It was absolutely lovely Loren! :) x
Looks very tasty
Looks delicious.... Will have to try this... I keep seeing the mayflower curry spice but never bought it.... Think I'll make this for my parents.... Maybe have it with sweet potato ummmmm ♥ can't wait to visit Oban in September 😊 ♥ 😊
It's a must try Sonia...if you like Chinese takeaway curry, you'll really enjoy this! Please le me know if you decide to make it and how it went x
@@WhatsForTea Will do lovely lady 😊 ♥
Oh my goodness it was delicious 👍 mum and dad enjoyed it too. The star anise is the winning ingredients.... DELICIOUS 😋 THANK YOU 😊
❤❤
nice recipe
Looks great. Once I make this. Can I freeze it, being chicken? Not sure if that’s ok.
Yes you could freeze it Tom ☺
You make everything look so easy to make looks delicious 💐
This is super easy Anne :) Just pop everything in and voila! Four hours later you'll have a lovely curry x
Will try minus the spuds
I'm making this
Hi Cheryl, loving the slow cooker recipes, can i ask where you purchased the big tub of Mayflower sauce from, i can only find the 255g boxes in the shops. Thanks.
you can also find Mayflower curry sauce frozen in a packet.....my local offy has it ..........its delish !
Looks delicious,, Brilliant, Thank you ,, do you make an Indian Curry ?
It's lovely with beef😁
even Prawns !
Never thought of spuds, will give it a go. Please avoid Blue Dragon. Even Lidi. Is better. Good alternative for curry Powder is Rajah Madras Mild. Eastern Star is also a good one tho it can be hard to get in manageable amounts. please don't take this as any criticism. None is intended.
Hi Tony :) I usually buy Tesco own brand Coconut milk....but they didn't have any :/ This was ok as an alternative. Don't you like Blue Dragon?
@@WhatsForTea I have to admit, when I first started to make Chinese food I (like everyone else) used Blue Dragon. It's the biggest seller, so can't be bad. Got more into Chinese cooking and realised it is pretty awful. Try Lee Kum kee dark/light soy as opposed to BD stuff and just about any Sweet and Sour is light years ahead of the BD offerings. Hell even uncle Ben's SnS is better. So going by these experiences I avoid at all costs lol. Now I'm off to make Chinese curry with bamboo shoots and bean sprouts.have a good one. T.
your meals look amazing gonny try this the morra, where is it your fae?
I lived in Yorkshire for more than 5 years! :-)
We all have our crosses to bear 😝
Can I freeze any leftovers ,?
You can! 🙂
I like mashed potatoes with my curry. Something about all that sauce...like mashed potatoes and gravy
I've never thought of doing that! Sounds interesting! :) and I'm sure it's delicious. Thanks for stopping by
Not any fancy ones...just the boxed ones. Cause I don't know about your family, but we always wind up with not enough rice lol or maybe we just like carbs. I got a busy week this week, I'm going to give this ago.
Sounds utter rank. Smash with curry. 🤢. I’ve heard it all now
I’ve never had a curry with potatoes in from Chinese takeaway 🥡
I just added them for a change :) We don't have potato in ours either. Thanks for watching
Can I substitute anise seed for the star anise?
Trying this now. As of all the things iv done off your videos they've all been a big hit with my fussy family. I'm off out, so is there a way to set the slow cooker where itl cook on high for the first hour then low for the other three hrs?? X
Or perhaps change it to medium for 5hrs? Or whatever? Haha xx
I thought it looked thinner in the Crock than it did on the plate, but in any case I like mine able to soak into the rice. I have a can of Coconut milk for no particular reason and the rest of the ingredients so this will get done soon.
Oh yes James :) You've got to try this! I just sent you an email....your prize has just been sent to you x
I make Chicken Curry often sometimes with leftover cooked but mostly with raw. I have not used Coconut milk beforee though. I normally do not cut up the breast into chunks because I prefer to use the whole bird (minus feathers and yucky bits from the inside) and let it fall apart itself, I will follow your recioe though as I have all the bits and the frezzer meal count has gone to zero. This will add three.
Yes I got your mail and I am assuming the Isle of Arran ate into your free time this last few days :-).
:D @@jamesgoacher2433
Could you do it if you don’t have a crock pot
Just do it slowly on the stove ☺
Hello Cheryl. I would like to try this without the coconut milk. Is it possible to do that?
try the Mayflower curry sauce in a Sachet frozen .....i you can find it.......yum !
just a quick question.. why are there potatoes in a chinese curry?
Looks a little watery! 😮😔
cornflower
Mate that chook curry on burnt toast would be the dogs bollocks.
You lost me at peas Cheryl! 😁
LOL :) You don't need to add peas!
5 tablespoons (30g) of curry powder not enough. Very bland. I tried it with 85g as suggested on the Mayflower pack (for 2) and so much nicer
Kind of looks like Korma
Anyone tried this with beef? Xx
Yes me! 😁 Cut the beef into chunks or strips and brown it off in a frying pan before you add it to the crockpot 👍
6:24 u got a moth in your curry !
LOL. Star Anise.
Slow cooking chicken breast - the mind boggles. What an utterly bizarre recipe.
It works though 🙂
Very enjoyable but not the Chinese takeaway curry taste I hoped for thumbs up tho will cook again
try the frozen Mayflower curry sauce in a sachet.....its delish.......i add green pepper, onions , peas, meat of choice for an authentic chinese curry just like my local takeaway, (manchester)
I take it this is not a slimming world friendly meal Cheryl???
why , wats not healthy ???
@@martinparker6536 she didnt say unhealthy, she was concerned about calories. Having potatoes and rice in one meal is double carbohydrates for someone who’s calorie counting
Looks decent but I’d cut down on the chat as my god you sound so dull
when buying Coconut Milk always look at the label and the Coconut Extract content, if its below 70% forget it. Asda and Home Bargains home brands are good my favourite is Praohom when I can get it. Blue Dragon is only 56% its sh%^$&$*$
