3 tablespoons olive oil
6 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger
1/3 to 1/2 cup prepared curry paste, I use Patak
5 cups chicken broth low-sodium canned, or homemade
1 cup greek yogurt
1 pound bonelss chicken breast cubed
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt

Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Heat the oil; add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant. Add the curry paste and continue to cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes more. Add 3 cups of the broth to the pan; then pour the liquid into a slow cooker. Whisk the yogurt into the liquid.
Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Add the chicken, lentils and remaining salt to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on HIGH for 6 hours, adding cauliflower and chickpeas about half way through cooking.
