Place the chicken, garlic, ginger, curry powder, garam masala, chili flakes, salt, coconut milk, chicken broth, onion, carrots, bay leaves, and cinnamon into the slow cooker. Stir everything together.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is tender.

Notes
This is a set-it-and-forget-it recipe—just dump everything in and let the slow cooker do the work.
If you prefer a thicker curry, stir in a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water) during the last 30 minutes.
Pair this dish with basmati rice or garlic naan for the best experience!
