Add the 2 T canola oil to the skillet and heat on medium high. Add the onion, garlic and ginger to the skillet. ?Cook until the onion is a caramel color. Add the curry powder and cook 2 minutes stirring continuously. Remove from the heat and add to the crock pot over the chicken. Place the bay leaves, yams and chicken broth to the crock pot.

Tip: This dish is best served over a bed of white rice and garnished with a little parsley.
If you don’t have time to do all the on stove cooking, and want your chicken to take longer to cook, you can also just take all the ingredients ~ including frozen chicken. Toss it in the crock pot, and then put it on low for 8 hours. It will come out great.
