There’s no need to defrost the chicken before preparing this recipe. Place chicken in theĀ crockpot and top with coconut milk and chicken broth. Add the rest of the ingredients except for the peppers, mushrooms and bok choy. Cook on the high setting. After 4 to 8 hours shred the chicken and add the remaining vegetables. Cover and cook another 1 to 2 hours. Feel free to substitute any of your favorite vegetables. If you like your food spicy add a few dried chili peppers. Enjoy!
