Easy Thai Chicken (Slow Cooker)

By Thom7747

This is a seriously tasty chicken dish that my boys and especially my husband really like. It’s not authentic Thai, but I love peanut sauces and this one tastes great. Plus you probably already have most of the ingredients in your fridge or cupboard! Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup salsa
• 1/4 cup peanut butter (chunky or creamy)
• 1 cup light coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 1 tablespoons grated fresh ginger*

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the salsa, peanut butter, coconut milk, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, and ginger in the crock of a slow cooker; mix well.

Place the chicken in the sauce, spoon mixture over chicken to coat.

Place the lid on the cooker and set to LOW. Cook until chicken is fork tender and sauce has thickened some, 8 to 9 hours.

Serve with rice (jasmine is our favorite) and garnish with peanuts and cilantro before serving.
