Ingredients:

cooking spray
3 ½ pounds frying chicken, cut into 10 pieces, skin removed and discarded
1 medium onion, diced
1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and diced
2 large cloves garlic, minced
3 sprigs fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon crushed dried
2 ½ teaspoons curry powder
1 14 1/2-ounce can no-salt-added diced tomatoes
1 cup celery, diced
1 packet sugar substitute that will retain sweetness during long cooking
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons currants or raisins
salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

Lightly coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Place over medium heat and add the chicken pieces. Sauté for 5 minutes per side, turning once.

Put onion, bell pepper, and garlic in a 3 1/2-quart slow cooker. Top with browned chicken pieces. Add thyme sprigs.

In a bowl, combine curry powder, tomatoes, celery flakes, sugar substitute, and white wine vinegar. Pour over chicken pieces. Sprinkle with currants. Do not stir.

Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours.

Serve over rice.
