Slow cooker chicken with dried fruit

Whole30 followers abstain (because of the sugar):

You'll need:
Pieces of chicken with bones (something about overcooking if it's boneless?)
Old dried fruit (doesn't have to be old I guess... I had old dates and even older raisins laying around)
Onion
Ginger
Pepper
Chicken broth or water
Honey
Apple cider vinegar

Chop up 1 onion and stir into slow cooker with 2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar, 1 cup of liquid (water or broth), grated ginger to taste, pepper and 2 tbsp of honey.
Toss in some old dried fruit! I used about 1 cup of dates and raisins.
Add chicken. I used 2 skinless thighs.
Set to low and leave for work. (about 9 hours?)

Take the lid off, stir, pull out bones that have fallen out of the meat.
I'm not eating the bloated fruit, but you could puree them into a gravy of sorts?

Non-dairy "cream"

Not that there's anything wrong with using REAL dairy, but this seems like an interesting (and delicious) alternative from Following My Nose.

Coconut creamer

Combine in blender:
1 can of coconut milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons of coconut oil
vanilla

Refrigerate.
