Preparation:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the chicken, olive oil, turmeric, cumin, coriander, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
2. Slow Cooker Magic: Transfer the marinated chicken to a slow cooker. Pour in the coconut milk, chicken broth, lime juice, honey, ginger, and garlic.
3. Cook to Perfection: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and the sauce has thickened.
4. Serve with Flair: Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve over rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice. A dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes adds a delightful touch.
Total Time: 30 minutes (prep) + 6-8 hours (cook) = 6-8 hours 30 minutes
