NOTE:

• Versatile Serving Options: While serving the slow cooker chicken curry with steamed rice is a classic choice, you can also get creative with the accompaniments. Consider serving it with naan bread, roti, or even cauliflower rice for a low-carb option. The versatile nature of the dish allows you to adapt it to your dietary preferences or any specific allergens you need to avoid.
• Leftovers and Freezing: Slow cooker chicken curry makes great leftovers. The flavors tend to deepen and intensify when reheated, making it even more delicious the next day. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze portions of the curry for future meals. Simply thaw and reheat when you’re ready to enjoy it again.
• Additional Garnish Options: While cilantro is a popular garnish for chicken curry, feel free to explore other options based on your personal taste. Sliced scallions, chopped red bell peppers, or a squeeze of fresh lime juice can add additional freshness and brightness to the dish.
