Paleo slow cooker chicken with cauli-mash

Here is my ultimate comfort food recipe and really doesn't take much effort! All you need is your handy dandy slow cooker, your veggies and a whole chicken.

Ingredients:
Whole chicken
- oregano
- salt and pepper to taste
- basil
- rosemary

Place all ingredients in a slow cooker when you wake up in the AM: put on low for at least 8 hours (ready when you come home from work!)


Cauli-mash:
 - 1/2 head of cauliflower
- 1/4 cup coconut milk (or less: depends on your preference. Add slowly until you get the right consistency)
- pepper and salt to taste
- 1/2 tsp crushed garlic (I use the bottled version)

Boil cauliflower for 10-15 minutes until cooked.Drain water, add garlic and spices and half of the coconut milk. Using a blender (or potato masher) mash and slowly add remaining milk until proper consistency.

Gravy:
Using drippings left in slow cooker- slowly add almond flour and mix until thickened. (approx. 3-4 tsp) Sift if necessary.

Side Salad:
- whatever salad you have in the fridge
(really I just take leftover veggies and top with almonds ^_^')
