Ingredients

1/2 cup(s) light coconut milk

1/2 cup(s) cilantro, fresh, packed (leaves and tender end stems)

3 Tbsp jerk seasoning

2 Tbsp dark brown sugar

1 clove(s) (medium) garlic clove(s)

1 Tbsp kosher salt, or to taste

1 piece(s) ginger root, 1-inch, fresh, coarsely chopped

1 Tbsp fresh lime juice

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

1 1/2 pound(s) uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast(s), six 4-oz pieces

3 medium uncooked sweet potato(es), peeled, cut into small cubes

20 oz canned pineapple packed in juice, drained (chunks)

1 large uncooked, onion(s), diced

Instructions

To make marinade, combine coconut milk, cilantro, jerk seasoning, sugar, garlic, salt, ginger, lime juice and cayenne in a blender or food processor; process until combined and set aside.
Layer chicken, potatoes, pineapple and onion in a slow cooker. Pour marinade over top; cover and cook on low until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender, about 5 hours. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve. Yields 1 piece chicken and about 3/4 cup potato-pineapple mixture per serving.

Notes

If you cannot find small chicken breasts, cut larger ones into 4 ounce pieces.

You can peel the potatoes or leave skin on for more fiber.

I didn't use the cayenne - I had jerk seasoning from Jamaica and that was very hot by itself. Good, easy recipe though!
