We love this at our house, it's just full of flavor! If you find that the potatoes are cooked before the chicken just remove them to a plate. You will love this! Ingredients:

2 tablespoons butter |
2 large onions, chopped |
1 -2 tablespoon minced garlic |
1 large green bell pepper, seeded and chopped |
1 teaspoon dried thyme |
1 -2 teaspoon dried chili pepper flakes (use only if you prefer extreme spicy) |
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
1 teaspoon ginger powder (can use more) |
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste) |

3/4 cup chicken broth |
1 1/2 cups coconut milk |
Directions:

2. Brown both sides in oil and butter in a skillet; transfer to the crock pot along with the chopped tomatoes and potatoes.
