I’m all about easy mid-week meals and this throw together Slow Cooker Chicken and Chickpea Curry is quickly becoming a family favourite! After weeks away holidaying, I have a lot to catch up on and slow cooker meals are perfect for busy schedules. Throw everything in the slow cooker in the morning and it will be ready by dinner time.
As I use chicken in this recipe it doesn’t need as long in the slow cooker but you could also replace with beef or lamb and cook for longer. It is mild in spice so great for introducing new flavours to little ones too – my 3 will literally lick their bowls clean eating this!
