Chicken Braised with Madras Vegetable Curry Sauce

What could be easier—brown some chicken thighs and pour in our flavorful sauce, then braise in a slow cooker or Dutch oven until the meat is fork-tender. The healthy braising sauce, inspired by the curries of southern India, includes traditional madras curry spices along with vegetables, garlic and ginger.
