Instructions
Place the chicken thighs in the slow cooker. Trim any excess fat, if necessary.
Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the crockpot, spreading them evenly around the chicken.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, chicken broth, curry powder, cumin, coriander, turmeric, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the curry mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the slow cooker.
Add the sliced carrots and diced potatoes to the slow cooker, spreading them around the chicken.
Cover the slow cooker with a lid and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the frozen peas to heat them through.
Once the chicken is tender and cooked through, shred it slightly with two forks if desired, or leave the pieces whole.
Serve the curry hot over cooked basmati rice, if using, and garnish with chopped cilantro and lime wedges for added flavor.
