Crock Pot / Slow Cooker Method
Throw all ingredients into the crock pot with these modifications... Instead of half cup milk, add 15 oz can of coconut milk. Cook for 6 to 8 hours. During last 30 minutes, add a thickening agent (3 Tablespoons flour whisked with half a cup chicken broth). Take the chicken out, pull it apart, and add it back into the slow cooker.
