How to Make Avocado Curry:
- Chop your chicken into bite-size cubes and add to slow cooker with coconut milk, red curry paste, and chopped onion.
- Set the slow cooker on low and let cook for 4 hours.
- About 30 minutes before mealtime, cook Mexican rice by following directions on the package.
- Distribute the cooked rice evenly between four bowls and top with chicken. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken from the slow cooker while leaving the sauce.
- Ladle the sauce out of the slow cooker and into a blender. Add half of your diced avocado to the blender and pulse until you’ve achieved a smooth, even sauce. If you’re having trouble getting it to blend, you can add a bit of coconut milk or water, but be careful to not add too much. You’ll end up with a thin sauce — thick, rich, and creamy is what we’re going for.
- Pour the blended avocado curry sauce over each bowl.
- Top each bowl with chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeños, diced avocado, and crushed tortilla chips.
