  • 1 cup coconut cream
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cumin
  • 1/2 tablespoon salt
  • 1/2 tablespoon turmeric
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger minced

  • Stir in the coconut cream and cook for an additional 15 minutes.

  • Serve with rice or your favorite curry side!

Notes

  • You can substitute the coconut cream for heavy cream.
  • While the chicken will be done cooking in 3 hours, I've let it cook up to 6 hours, and it's still so delicious and tender! Even once you add the coconut cream, you can leave it in the slow cooker up to one hour before serving.
  • If you're in a hurry, cook on high for 2 - 2 1/2 hours or until the chicken is fully cooked.
