Total time: 5 hr 25 min • Prep: 20 min • Cook: 5 hr 5 min • Serves: 4 • Difficulty: Easy
This regional classic from the Lowcountry areas of Charleston and Savannah is originally from India. Featuring curry, raisins and a base of rice, it is bright in both color and flavor. Using a slow-cooker to prepare the chicken mixture reduces the traditional cooking time dramatically. With only 20 minutes of prep time and 5 hours in the crockpot, putting this dish on auto-pilot for a weekend dinner is simple. For weeknight meals, prepare your mixture in the dish of your crockpot the night before and pop home during lunch to set it to cook. Although this one-dish meal is fully complete, a green salad can add a crunchy and cool side dish.
