Once fall is officially here, it’s time for pumpkin everything. Pumpkin lattes, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cookies… and this delicious slow cooker chicken pumpkin curry. It’s warming and nourishing with those satisfying spicy sweet Thai flavors that everyone loves. It’s the season where it’s easy to get delicious sugar pie pumpkins for cooking, but canned pumpkin is a little easier and still very delicious.

You can easily make this in any slow cooker or Instant Pot, or just on the stove top (if you choose this option, cook covered over low heat for a couple hours longer). It’s super easy to prepare and if you like, you can cook it for 8 hours on low instead of 4 hours on high, leaving it overnight or while you’re at work for the day. Use a good quality Thai red curry paste for mouth watering flavor. Canned coconut is an absolute must for flavor and texture, so don’t use the kind that comes in a carton. Jasmine rice is by far my personal preference for serving - it’s fragrant and extremely delicious. However, any freshly steamed white rice will work just fine.

The Most Delicious Chicken You’ve Ever Had

At Beck & Bulow, we get a lot of satisfaction from converting people away from eating factory farmed meat. It’s good for the planet, our emotional well-being, our health and our future. We believe eating meat is essential for humans to function at optimal health, but this can only be the case if it’s raised and processed the right way. When it comes to chicken, it’s necessary to use the highest discernment in sourcing. We’re proud to provide delicious chicken from a co-op of family farms, locally raised in sunny Colorado.

Carefully Sourced & Humanely Raised

These birds are humanely raised and cage free, with plentiful space to roam freely in cozy, well-ventilated barns with access to the outdoors. They enjoy unlimited access to water and nutritious vegetarian food supplemented with enzymes, essential oils and vitamins. The chickens frequently relax in their cozy beds made of wood shavings and rice hulls. They are a Cobb Hubbard hybrid breed, carefully selected for the great flavor and consistency of the meat as well as their docile temperament. The barn attendants are trained in chicken behavior and take care to make the environment as naturally supportive as possible.
