Slow Cooker Coconut Chicken

Happy Father's Day to all the dads. If you want to serve something easy to prepare for that special dad in your life here is one dish he would like. My husband, a proud dad of two daughters, gave this two thumbs up.  This was inspired by a dish prepared by the new Iron Chef Stephanie Izard.  I used chicken breast instead of the beef cheeks in her recipe.

Slow Cooker Coconut Chicken

• 2 lb chicken breast, cubed
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper 
• 1 1\2 cups coconut milk from a can
• 2 tbsp fish sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh chopped ginger 
• 1 onion sliced
• 1 tbsp sambal oelek
• Cilantro 

Add salt and pepper to the chicken and place them with the rest of the ingredients except the cilantro in the crockpot.  Cook for 3 hours at high setting or 6 hours at low.  I cooked mine in an Aroma brand rice cooker/slow cooker for 2 hours at slow cooker setting.

Scatter cilantro on top and serve over rice.
