STEP 1: De-bone chicken on the bone-in chicken thighs. Chop all chicken pieces into bite-sized pieces. Make sure to keep the skin on for the pieces that have it.
STEP 2: Add chicken to slow cooker and grate knob of ginger over the top.
STEP 3: Add diced tomatoes, olive oil, and tomato paste into slow cooker, then mix well again.
STEP 4: Lastly, add 1/2 cup coconut milk and mix together thoroughly. Cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours.
STEP 5: Once the slow cooker is done, add the remaining coconut milk, heavy cream, and guar gum and mix thoroughly into the chicken. It should help the curry thicken well; serve over cauliflower rice or vegetable of your choice. Add chopped cilantro.
