Slow Cooker Chicken and Vegetable Curry

I love a meal that can be cooked in the slow cooker so that you come home from work or errands to a meal that is almost ready to put on the table.  This made a LOT of curry (there's only two of us) but it freezes well. Another bonus!

1 can (13.5 ounces) lite coconut milk
2 14-ounce cans crushed, diced or pureed tomatoes
1 – 2 tablespoons curry powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons kosher salt
3 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast

1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 14-ounce cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
3 cups cauliflower florets
3 cups frozen green peas (optional)
¼ cup fresh minced cilantro (optional)

In the bottom of the slow cooker, whisk together light coconut milk, tomatoes, curry powder, garlic powder, ground ginger and kosher salt.  

Add chicken, onion and chickpeas. Mix everything thoroughly to coat in sauce.

Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours. An hour before serving, add cauliflower florets.

Before serving add optional green peas. Stir and simmer uncovered for 5 to 10 minutes.  Remove chicken and cut into bite-sized pieces.  Return to slow cooker for a minute or two to reheat.

 Sprinkle with optional chopped cilantro (some people hate it--some love it!)

A Park Avenue princess discovers the dark side of 1930s New York when a debutante ball turns deadly in this gripping historical mystery for readers of Victoria Thompson, Anne Perry, and Rhys Bowen.

Manhattan, 1938. Tired of being trapped in the gilded cage of her family’s expectations, Elizabeth Adams has done what no self-respecting socialite would think to do: She’s gotten herself a job. Although Elizabeth’s dream is to one day see her photographs on the front page of the Daily Trumpet, for now she’s working her way up as the newsroom’s gal Friday.

But fetching coffee isn’t exactly her idea of fun, so when veteran reporter Ralph Kaminsky needs a photographer to fill in for a last-minute assignment, Elizabeth jumps at the chance. At the Waldorf Hotel, Elizabeth is tasked with tracking down the season’s “It girl,” Gloria DeWitt, who will be making her society debut. Working her own connections to New York’s upper crust, Elizabeth manages to land an exclusive interview with Gloria.

Then Gloria’s stepmother is shot dead in a Waldorf bathroom, placing Elizabeth at the scene of a headline-worthy scandal: “Murder of a Society Dame.” Now Elizabeth will have to get the scoop on the killer before her good name gets dragged through the gossip columns—or worse. . . .

From a Goodreads Review:

"What absolute fun! Penned with wit, humor and style, MURDER, SHE REPORTED gets my definite, “Yes!”
