Slow-Cooker Chicken Curry with Greens

Living in California so long, I was exposed to all types of cuisines because of the variety of cultures that surrounded me. I remember going to Chinatown in LA when I was young, and having Thai and Indian restaurants down the street from my house in college. This slow-cooker chicken curry reminds me of the tasty, authentic ones I used to get at that Indian restaurant. It can be prepared in 15 minutes, frozen and then transferred straight to the slow-cooker the day you are ready to eat it. This warm bowl of chicken, curry spices and greens is nutritious and delicious. Served it over cauliflower "rice" for a Whole30 meal that will leave you hoping you have leftovers for tomorrow's lunch.

SLOW-COOKER CHICKEN CURRY WITH GREENS
Prep Time: 15min
Serves 4-6

Ingredients
*    2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
*    1 14 oz can fire-roasted diced tomatoes, drained
*    2-4 TBS Rogan Josh spice (from Penzey's or homemade*) or other curry powder
*    Half the solids (about a 1/2 cup) from a can of refrigerated coconut milk (solids will rise separate to the top)
*    1 10 oz bag frozen chopped spinach
*    1 medium onion, chopped
*    1 10 oz bag frozen riced cauliflower

Instructions
1.    Stir together the diced tomatoes and curry paste or powder (and coconut milk, if using) until thoroughly combined. Stir in the onion. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper and then thoroughly coat with the tomato mixture. Place in zippered freezer bag, if freezing for a later time, or move on to Step 2.
2.    When ready to cook, dump the chicken mixture into a slow cooker along with the bag of spinach. Cook 4-6 hours on low if not frozen, 6-8 hours if frozen.
3.    Cook Riced Cauliflower according to package directions and top with curry.

*You can make this by combining 2 TBS curry powder, 2 tsp garam masala, 1/2 tsp ground ginger, and 1/2 tsp salt.
