Let the Magic Happen in Your Slow Cooker!

There was a time when I didn’t like coconut at all, not in any shape or form. I guess what it took for me to get used to the taste was one happy vacation on an island – after that it seems I can’t get enough of coconut!

I started making coconut cakes, buying coconut chocolate bars and finally, cooking with coconut flavors. It’s such an everyday-thing for some, but for me it was so out-of-the-ordinary! This recipe is one of my all-time favorites. There is that beautiful flavor of coconut but it’s not too much, and all the different spices work together really well.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs. Perdue boneless skinless chicken breast

• 14 oz. lite canned Silk coconut milk

• 2 cups basil

• 1 tbsp. ginger, chopped (or more to taste)

• 1 jalapenos, chopped (or more to taste)

• 3 garlic cloves

• 2 limes

• 1 tsp. turmeric

• 1 tsp. cumin

• 1 tsp. curry powder

• 1 tsp. salt

• 1/2 tsp. pepper

• 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Instructions:

Add the coconut milk, basil, ginger, jalapeno, garlic, lime juice, turmeric, cumin, curry powder, salt, pepper, and cinnamon to a blender. Blend until combined.

Add the chicken to your crock pot. Pour the sauce over top. Cook for 4 hours or until chicken is cooked through and tender.
