When do you add the potatoes in the above recipe?

 Nancy replies:
I assume that means that the potatoes must be pre-cooked. Otherwise the chicken is cooking for a long time after being tender. Is that correct?

Try adding pressure cooked potatoes and carrots. Cook the meat and sauce separate, thicken before adding to the potatoes.

Potatoes should be cooked separately, adding them last will not change the texture of the sauce as much. Delicious dish to say the least.

Kate, it depends on your taste buds - I prefer to add the potatoes after crockpot cooking.

This was delicious, and really pretty easy. I substituted a can of tomatoes for fresh, and used frozen chicken tenders. I microwaved the potatoes separately, and steamed some carrots that I added at the end.

This was delicious and very easy.
I cooked the chicken first for about 4 min.
after sauteing onion and garlic for about 3 min then combine with all ingredients including potatoes and a 12 oz. can of coconut juice and no extra water.
stirred occasionally and kept a lid on the pot. took about and hour to cook.

Prep time: 1/2 hour
Cook time: 1 hour

I used drumsticks and chicken broth with the recipe, it works good with bone in chicken - the timing is just right. add the broth and coconut milk when you add the potatoes and cook for 30 mins.

Absolutely delicious! It tastes as good as it smells. I added one chopped carrot and microwaved it along with the potatoes for about 4 minutes before adding. I used a whole can of coconut milk and one more can of water. Cooked for about 30 minutes. Yummy!
