This recipe is very similar in flavour to my Keto Curry Chicken in a skillet recipe only this one is made in a crockpot. I love crockpot meals for busy weekdays when the kids and I are often travelling in opposite directions and need a quick meal. This can easy be adapted for the Instant Pot too, just follow the directions below.

Tips for making Crockpot Freezer Meals:
- Use 1 gallon, large freezer bags. Label bags with the date, recipe and cooking instructions.
- Lay ingredients flat in the bag for easier storage in the freezer.
- This 7-Quart Oval Crockpot is the only one that I use and has lasted for over ten years!
- Defrost meals in the refrigerator or place frozen into the crockpot. If the meal is defrosted, reduce the cooking time accordingly (subtract two hours for most crockpot meals).
- Crockpot meals can easily be converted to Instant Pot recipes using this handy guide from Taste of Home – How to Convert Slow Cooker Recipes for the Instant Pot.
- Store meals for up to three months in the freezer.
Crockpot Coconut Curry Chicken

- Red bell pepper, diced
- Small zucchini, diced
- 12 button mushrooms, quartered

- 2 Tbsp of red curry paste
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp basil

Adjust the amount of red curry in the recipe to suit your families taste. More curry will make this dish spicier. And don’t be afraid to add the fish sauce! It adds a flavour profile that takes this recipe to a whole new level.
I like to serve this over steamed cauliflower rice for a completely keto friendly meal however traditional white rice works great too!

Hi Heather,
Does this recipe use an entire bunch of celery or just one rib of celery?
One rib, edited to add (thank you!)
This looks delicious! Do you have a less spicy sub for the red curry paste? I have a 3yo & 1yo I’m also cooking for that just won’t jump on the spice wagon with me lol
I would add half of the amount of red curry then. You can also cut the heat by adding 1 Tbsp of brown sugar :)
How many carbs does this have?
Edited the recipe to add this info <3
