Is this curry suitable for meal prep?
Absolutely! Many low-carb Whole30 crockpot recipes make for satisfying lunch meals any day of the week. You can prepare a large batch of this chicken curry, serve some of it for dinner, and store the rest in individual containers in the fridge. When ready to eat, microwave the soup for a couple of minutes until heated through, then add the herbs.
Can you make this recipe without a crockpot?
Of course! To do that, start by searing the chicken skin side down in a large skillet or Dutch oven, and remove it from the skillet. Then, sauté the onions, garlic, ginger, and curry. Return the chicken and add the remaining ingredients to the pot, let the stew come to a boil, drop the heat to low, and let it simmer for an hour or two, or until the chicken is super tender. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet, remove the skin and bones, shred it, then return it to the pot. Finally, add the chopped coriander and lemon juice. Serve and add the garnish on top.

Made this today and it was absolutely delicious. Skipped the coconut oil and swapped the jalapeño for a red chilli.

Coconut oil is to fry the chicken. Not in the crock pot

Not sure re the value of adding coconut oil. Ended up with layer of fat on top, think ill leave it out next time, or use it to cook the chicken rather than olive oil. I also think I'll add coconut milk nearer the end as that seemed to evaporate. Still tasty though.

I will be trying the recipe this week, but I have three concerns. The ingredient list calls for crushed red pepper flakes and chicken broth, however, the recipe instructions say to add chili powder and chicken stock. I don't see when to add the jaleoeno, but I'll assume at the same time as the onion. Can this be clarified, please?
