Slow-Cooked Thai Peanut Chicken

November 19, 2013

The beautiful thing about slow cooker recipes is that they are so easy. Hopefully you’re like “yeah, duh,” but if not, I’ll make you a believer. Check this recipe out: Slow-Cooked Thai Peanut Chicken. I often start this recipe right before I leave for work and then the delicious smell greets me once I get back.

3 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 cup peanut butter, preferably an “all-natural” version
1 cup chunky hot salsa
¼ cup soy sauce
? cup sriracha sauce
? cup lime juice
2 tbsp red pepper flakes
1 tbsp ground ginger
optional: 1 green bell pepper, 1 zucchini (sliced)
optional for serving: jasmine rice, cilantro, green onion

Combine everything except the chicken and veggies in a bowl, and stir. It won't look the most appetizing, but trust me - it’s delicious. If you’ve decided to include some veggies, go ahead and chop/slice...
