Crock Pot Chicken Vindaloo (Ww 5 Pts. Per Serving)

Submitted by Oolala

"From a Weight Watcher's Crock Pot cookbook. I haven't tried it yet but copied from my friend's book. The recipe states that Vindaloo is a spicy Indian curry usually made with lamb, but chicken is equally delicious. Prepared curry paste can be very spicy, so start with the minimum amount; then, when the dish is done, taste the broth and add the remaining paste if desired. *Any frozen vegetable blend will work with the recipe as long as there are no sauces or butter added."

We love curries - and the slow cooker is my best friend, so I was so excited to find this recipe. Unfortunately, I would have to agree with the previous viewer who found it to be too bland. I added a heaping tablespoon of the red curry paste, and the full amount of curry, so I didn't go easy on the spices. Next time I will look at some other curries to see what my options are as far as spices go. I added my frozen vegetables about 45 minutes before we ate, and they, as well as the rest of the recipe other than the spiciness, was great! Will work with this to see if I can boost the flavor.

This is definitely yummy! I ended up with the whole 3 tsp of red curry paste and even then it didn't have a huge kick, just good taste. Next time I will cook the veggies for more than 30 minutes, they were still quite crunchy after 30 minutes.

We really enjoyed this recipe. It's quick, easy, and tastes great. I used the minimum amount of curry paste until we took out the kids portions, then we kicked it up for the adult servings. Thanks for the recipe, Oolala.
