This recipe was amazing. The chicken came out so moist. The combination of flavors really made this dish great. This recipe will be going into out list of favorites.

This is a good tasting recipe but I would leave out the potatoes and substitute carrots as with potatoes and rice is too much starch for me. You could also add some pineapple along with the coconut and raisins.

This was horrible -- not up to the usual Taste of Home standards. The chicken cooked up beautifully, but the vegetables were all over done and mushy (after only a few hours) and there was no particular taste of coconut OR curry. Yuck!

So good! Don't bother browning the chicken. I put mine in frozen solid and cooked it for nine hours. Perfect! I also subbed sweet potatoes for white potatoes and I can't imagine the dish without them. They cooked down so that they kind of blended in with the sauce and gave it a nice flavor and texture. Oh, I also used a whole can of the coconut milk (didn't have another use for it) and added two spoonfuls of sugar after cooking for a little sweetness. Will make a million times!

Absolutely delicious and simple to make! My husband is now requesting this dish once a week. I used boneless thighs instead of breasts and cilantro in place of the green onions. I also didn't have any coconut or raisins on hand, but plan on using them next time to see how the added sweetness complements the dish.

This was absolutely delicious! My husband said we need to have this once a week. Indian food in my crockpot...awesome! We used thighs instead of breasts and cilantro instead of the green onions. We also skipped the raisins and coconut although I'd like to try it next time with those items to taste the difference. We'll definitely be making this again and again.

My boyfriend and I love this recipe and I make it quite often. It's very simple to put together and is delicious. It's also easy to have all of the ingredients on hand, which is a plus. I don't add the coconut, raisins, or peanuts on top, and I serve it over a wild/brown rice mix. I usually leave it in my 5-quart slow cooker for the full 6 hours on low. It smells great while it's cooking!

This was good, but didn't taste as good as other curries we have made; needs more spices and shredded or coined carrots. We made it on the stove because I didn't have time to start it in the crockpot. Also, only used 1 chicken breast, cut into chunks; 4 would be definite overkill with the meat!

I also addded a little more curry powdwe and coconut milk. I didn't have green onions or peanuts and it was still really good! I also didn't have an fresh onion (I really need to go shopping!) so I rehydrated dried onion flakes and it worked beautifully!

This was very flavorful! I did have thick pieces of chicken and I only cooked it for about 4 hours or so. This really helped with the taste and texture of the chicken. I also made small/medium pieces for the potatoes so they would cook all the way by the time the chicken was done. It turned out perfect!
