Sweet Chicken Curry Slow-Cooked with Mango Chutney
This was an adaptation of a recipe from a diet recipe book for slow cookers, and it was pretty easy. Also, there is a limited number of items to chop, dice and slice. And the mango chutney is really the key to the sweet taste. I wasn’t a big fan of chutney before, but it is awesome here. The overall time is about 5 hours, but most of that is cooking time. A weekend project unless you have time to get it going in the morning.

You could experiment with different chutneys for different flavours.
About 15 minutes before serving, start cooking rice (if desired) in either the non-stick pot or rice cooker.
Until the next concoction...
