Place the butternut squash cubes in the bottom of the slow cooker and season with salt & pepper.
Heat the the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Season chicken with plenty of salt. Place the chicken, skin side down, in the oil and cook until it is golden & crispy (it should release easily from the pan), about 6-7 minutes.
Put the chicken (skin side up) in the slow cooker on top of the squash.
Reduce the heat to medium. Cook the onion, until softened (5 minutes). Next, add the garlic, and cook about 1 minute. Add in the paprika and cumin and continue to stir for another minute. Pour in the lemon juice and stir to scrape off any browned bits from the skillet. Place the mixture on top of the chicken thighs in the slow cooker.
Cook on low for 4-6 hours.
Serve with couscous or rice, topped with parsley & slivered almonds.
