Slow Cooker Coconut Ginger Chicken & Vegetables

Step 1

Combine ingredients from the spice blend together and set aside.

Step 2

In a mini food processor, combine garlic, ginger and onion and pulse until it forms a paste.

Step 3

In the bottom of a slow-cooker placed on a burner (see IMPORTANT note below), heat olive oil and melt butter. Add pureed aromatics and stir well. Cook for a few minutes, then add spice blend. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.

Step 4

Move aromatics to one side of the pot and add chicken pieces to the pot. Cook chicken slightly on all sides, using a sturdy wooden spoon to move it around the pot. It should get thoroughly coated with the spice mixture.

Step 5

Open the cans of coconut milk and remove the cream from the top using a soup spoon. You should have about 1 cup. Pour the coconut milk over the chicken and with both cans, it should just barely cover the chicken.

Step 6

Drain the corn cobs and chop in half. Add to the slow-cooker.

Step 7

Place the slow cooker in the base and cook on low for 4 hours.

Step 8

Whisk cornstarch with coconut cream until smooth and add to the chicken. Stir well. Add frozen peas or other vegetables of your choice. Cook for another half an hour or until you deem the chicken cooked and the vegetables hot.
