CrockPot: Slow Cooker Coconut Yogurt Chicken

crock pot chicken dish

Crockpots are perfect for people on the move. If you lead a very busy lifestyle, a crockpot slow cooker will make your life so much easier. Dump your meal in the pot, set the timer, and let the crockpot do all the work.

I was always fascinated by certain cultures that cook with yogurt. I enjoy eating yogurt or having them in my smoothies, but cooking with yogurt is new to me.

I have tried this recipe years ago. But was cooked on a stovetop. This delicious chicken falling off the bone is tender, juicy, and simply easy.

If you are looking for a new type of pasta, you can omit the penne rigate pasta and serve the coconut yogurt chicken with my Carrot Cranberry Orzo Pasta. Click HERE for the recipe.
