I love my slow cooker, it is one of the best food related inventions ever. I can quickly prepare a meal before I go to work and it is ready by the time I come home. It is great in our house because I work until 9pm, so by putting everything in the slow cooker in the morning before I leave, I know by the time Nick gets home at 5:30 there will be something yummy waiting his arrival.

I recently joined a group on Facebook called "Slow Cooked Wonders :)" A group of over 30,000 slow cooker fanatics exchanging delicious recipes as well as great hints and tips.  They are all a really friendly bunch of people, and they all really inspired me to try our different recipes in my slow cooker, other than your standard casserole or stew.  This is how I created the 7 day slow cooker challenge, 7 days, 7 different slow cooked meals from sweet to savoury!

Day 1:- Chicken and Potato Curry

I love a nice curry so created this recipe for ease and minimal time to prepare it. I think it is always best to use fresh herbs, but you could always use dried herbs instead if you want.

Leave on low for 6 hours, or high for 4. The chicken should be deliciously tender, but double check the potatoes are cooked through as well.  I used some microwave rice to serve it with for convenience, speed and ease.
