This recipe can be done with either chicken breasts, chicken strips, or chicken drumsticks. It is paleo friendly and so easy that it becomes a go-to favorite. It is full of savory spices and flavors that all mix together in the crockpot to ignite the taste buds and feed the body.
You can substitute the peppers for whatever pepper you want: Anaheim, jalapeno, habanero. You can also leave the peppers out if you want a more mild version that children usually like more.

- 4 scallions chopped
- 2 garlic cloves peeled and crushed
- 1 inch fresh ginger peeled/ grated or chopped
- 1 fresh jalapeño pepper stemmed, seeded, and chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme clean and chopped
- 2 tsps kosher salt and pepper
- 1 tsp coriander ground
- 2 tbsps coconut oil
- lime juice to taste
- 2 pounds raw chicken
- 1. Take all the ingredients besides the chicken and lime and put them in a blender.
- 2. Blend all of those ingredients together to make a paste: scallions, garlic cloves, ginger, jalapeno pepper, thyme, salt, pepper, coriander, and coconut oil.
- 3. Use 3/4 of the paste to coat the chicken. Put the coated chicken and rest of that paste into the crockpot.
- 4. Set aside the rest of the 1/4 paste in the refrigerator.
- 5. Cover and cook the chicken coated with the 3/4 paste in a crockpot on low for 3-4 hours.
- 6. (optional) Take the remainder 1/4 of the paste and heat up on the stove over low heat. Then remove the cooked chicken from the crockpot and brush on fresh paste. Then broil under a broiler for 5-10 minutes in the oven.
- 7. Then use the fresh lime to garnish the chicken.
The broiling portion of this recipe is not needed... but it is quite tasty.
This chicken is truly delicious and nutritious. I have also found that you can add different spices and herbs to this recipe to change it up. I also like to add extra coriander, but that is because I like coriander.
