2 Ingredient Crockpot Chicken Curry

Can I just tell you how much I love working near a Trader Joe's? It's awesome, and has given me a few new staple pantry items that I can use to prepare a meal on the fly. I'd like to highlight one of them today. Enter Trader Joe's Curry Simmer Sauce. I threw some chicken thighs into the crockpot with a jar of this yummy goodness and a few hours later, ended up with one of the simplest and tastiest crockpot meals I've ever made. I've used this same recipe with another curry simmer sauce and the results were just as yummy.

•  Package of chicken (thighs, breasts, whatever)
• 1 jar of Trader Joe's Curry Simmer Sauce (pictured: Thai Green Curry sauce)

Add chicken and jar of sauce to crockpot. Cook on low 4-6 hours. Serve or veggies or rice. Enjoy! 

Turnip Curry

This is Jeremy's favorite Paleo/Whole30 recipe. Don't be afraid of the turnips-give them a chance. I served this with brined and roasted chicken breasts.

•  2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons curry powder
• 1 large turnip, peeled and diced
• 2 cans fire roasted tomatoes
• 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
• salt and black pepper to taste

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion, garlic, cumin, and curry powder; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the turnip and tomatoes. Season with red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the vegetables are tender and the curry has thickened, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. 

This makes 4-6 servings depending on how hungry you are ;)
