Crock Pot Coconut Curry Chicken

This is the same recipe I've made on the stove top

and posted here except today I made it in the

crock pot. Couldn't be easier and just as delicious!

I thought I'd share how easily it is to convert

a braised recipe to the crock pot. Even easier is the
 fact that everything is pretty much just thrown in;
no extra browning or sauteing in a separate pan.

 I always like to season the chicken with

 salt and pepper before I add more seasonings.

Evenly sprinkle on the the seasonings.

Scatter on the chopped onion, apple, and garlic

Combine the broth and the coconut milk.

Pour over all.

Cover and cook on low for 6 hours

Combine the cornstarch with water and

stir into the pot. Return lid and cook on 

high for 15 minutes to thicken.

Serve over rice and sprinkle on a

generous amount of chopped cilantro.
