Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and, once oil is shimmering, sear both sides of (seasoned) chicken thighs in batches, making sure to let oil heat up again before searing the next batch. Combine coconut milk, dried basil, curry powder, chili powder, and salt and pepper to the slow cooker and stir together until incorporated. Place seared chicken, red onions, jalapeños and garlic to the slow cooker, and stir everything together. Cover slow cooker and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours, or on low for 6 to 8, until chicken is cooked through. Once cooked through, use two forks to shred into small pieces.

Return shredded chicken to the slow cooker, then stir everything together. Cover and cook for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until mixture has thickened.
