I'm always looking for recipes I can prepare ahead of time. The chicken chunks bask for hours in snappy spices and seasonings, giving this recipe a lot of pizzazz...and the peaches round out the amazing flavors. —Heidi Martinez Colorado Springs, Colorado

Ingredients

  • 1 broiler/fryer chicken (3 pounds), cut up
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 can (29 ounces) sliced peaches

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons cold water
  • 1/4 cup raisins

Directions

  1. Place chicken in a 5-qt. slow cooker; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Drain peaches, reserving 1/2 cup juice; set peaches aside. In a small bowl, combine broth, butter, onion, curry, garlic, ginger and reserved juice; pour over chicken. Cook, covered, on low 3-4 hours or until chicken is tender.
