MANGO & COCONUT CHICKEN SOUP

Mango & Coconut Chicken Soup image

I love preparing dinner in a slow cooker because it's "carefree cooking." This chicken dish uses ingredients that I love, such as coconut milk, edamame and fresh ginger. The Asian-style entree is perfect for a potluck party. -Roxanne Chan, Albany, California
