Instructions

Heat coconut oil in a large skillet on moderate-high heat and brown the chicken pieces, approximately 3-4 minutes each side. You will probably need to do this in a few batches and may need to add some extra coconut oil.
Once the chicken is browned, add to the slow cooker with the remaining ingredients (except the mushrooms and olives), mixing well to combine. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
Add the mushrooms and olives to the slow cooker in the last 30 minutes of cooking and stir to combine.
Serve with your favourite side and enjoy

Notes

This goes well with quinoa, zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice.
If you are rushed on time, you can cook on high for four hours.
