Chicken with Peanut Sauce

  • 6

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 (4-5 pound) chicken, cut up
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 3 cloves garlic, pressed
  • 3 medium carrots, cut into coins
  • 1 (12-oz.) can tomato sauce
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 1/3 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 head broccoli florets, chopped
  • 3/4 cup low fat plain yogurt
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter (chunky or smooth, your
  • preference)

Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet, brown chicken in olive oil. Don't worry about cooking it through;
you just want to brown the skin on the outside. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove chicken from skillet
and add onion and garlic. Sauté for about a minute. Place onion and garlic in a slow cooker. Add carrots, tomato
sauce, seasonings, and broccoli, and then add chicken. Cover and cook on low heat setting for about 6 hours. About
ten minutes before you are ready to serve, combine yogurt and peanut butter, blending until smooth. Add mixture to slow cooker and stir. Cover and increase to high heat setting; cook for another 5 minutes or so, or until sauce is just heated through.

SERVING SUGGESTION: Serve over brown rice with a large spinach and orange salad on the side.
