In skillet, heat remaining 3 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in oil 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned. Transfer chicken to slow cooker.

Add 1 cup of the broth to skillet, scraping to loosen browned bits. Pour over chicken. Add remaining 3 cups broth, the adobo sauce, beans, coconut milk, salt and pepper to slow cooker.
