Crockpot Thai Chicken Curry

I love using my crockpot for easy meals.  Add a  nice salad and dinner is ready.
I was recently at my mom's house packing and one of her neighbors dropped by.  She handed me a bag of Thai limes. It couldn't have been more perfect timing.
That morning I told my mom, I was making Thai Chicken Curry.  I needed a lime.  So, I was pretty excited to use a Thai lime, also named Kaffir lime.

Very few people know of different ways to use a Kaffir lime. An Australian chef named David Thompson says the zest can give a dish an alluring perfume. David Thompson wrote the bible for Thai food in Australia.

The hottest Thai curry is the Thai Green curry, followed by the Thai Red curry, then the Thai Yellow curry, then the Thai Massaman curry with the mildest Thai curry being the Thai Yellow curry (although the Massaman curry is sometimes milder than a Yellow curry, depending on the recipe
