If you love a recipe that practically cooks itself, this Slow Cooker Coconut Chicken is about to become your new go-to.

This is one of those glorious dump-it-in-the-pot and walk away meals. No babysitting. No fancy prep. Just tender chicken simmering all day in a rich, creamy coconut sauce infused with bold, Shortcut Stacey Hawkins spices that take it from simple… to WOW.

By the time you walk back through the door, dinner is done.

Warm. Comforting. Deeply flavorful.

The coconut milk creates a silky, luscious base, while the spices layer in just the right balance of savory warmth and subtle heat. It’s the kind of meal that feels indulgent but is still totally doable on a busy weekday.

Serve it over cauliflower rice, traditional rice, or spoon it straight into a bowl and call it a day. It feeds the family beautifully, reheats like a dream, and makes you look like you tried way harder than you actually did. (We love that for us.)

Slow cooker comfort. Big flavor. Zero stress.

Directions

Add onion and seasonings to a 6-quart slow cooker. Cut chicken into 1” pieces and add them to the slow cooker.
In a bowl or measuring cup, add coconut milk, tomato paste, salt & pepper (or better yet, use 2 tsp of Dash of Desperation!), and lime juice. Whisk to combine and then pour over the chicken.
Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, until chicken is tender, but not overcooked. You could cook on high for 4 hours as well, or in a pressure cooker for 30 minutes with natural release.
Cook rice according to package directions and serve with the coconut chicken. Enjoy!
