    1 kg chicken thighs, 0.5 tsp sea salt, 2 tsp curry powder
  • Place a large frying pan over medium–high heat. Add the olive oil and let it heat for 30 seconds. Sear the thigh fillets for 2 minutes each side to develop a crust and caramelise. Remove and place straight into the slow cooker. Add the onion to the slow cooker.
    2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 2 brown onions
  • For the satay sauce: Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and pour over the chicken in the slow cooker. Stir well to combine.
    0.667 cup coconut milk, 2 tbsp red curry paste, 2 tsp ginger, 3 cloves garlic, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, steamed rice
  • Cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 4–5 hours. About 1–2 hours before finishing, remove the lid and add the capsicum, pumpkin and green beans. Give them a good stir and get them under the liquid. Feel free to add a little more coconut milk here if needed.
    1 red capsicum, 2 cups pumpkin, handful green beans
