2. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Once the chicken is nicely browned, transfer it to a slow cooker, ensuring it’s arranged in a single layer at the bottom.

3. Make the Cream Sauce: In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, curry powder, and additional salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated into a smooth sauce.

4. Pour Over the Chicken: Pour the prepared cream sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker, ensuring each piece is generously coated.

5. Cook to Perfection: Set the slow cooker to cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 5 hours. This allows the flavors to meld together, resulting in tender, flavorful chicken.

6. Prepare the Accompaniments: While the chicken cooks, you can prepare your choice of accompaniments. You can serve the chicken over noodles or rice for a hearty meal.

7. Optional Step for Fresh Asparagus: If you’re using fresh asparagus, steam it until just tender. This adds a vibrant green element to your dish and provides a nutritious boost.

8. Assemble and Serve: Once the chicken is cooked to perfection, it’s time to serve! If you opted for fresh asparagus, arrange it on the serving dish, followed by the cooked noodles or rice. Place the chicken on top and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese for an extra layer of flavor and indulgence.
