"I love this recipe as I can prepare it the day before my friends come over, leaving time to gossip and relax. Then I pop it into the slow cooker, so the only thing I have to do when my friends arrive is ping the rice in the microwave. Then it's all about good food and laughs, with minimal washing up." - Veetee Member, Samantha Lea Ideal for those occasions where you can't spend all day hanging around the stove, this Jerk Chicken recipe lets the slow cooker do all of the work!

  • 400ml coconut milk
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
