Slow Cooker Thai Chicken
Why I Love This Recipe
Slow cooked chicken breasts in a rich, peanutty, slightly spicy sauce.
Ingredients You'll Need
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1/2 inch strips
1 large red bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
1 arge onion, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon ground cumin
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
salt and pepper to taste
Sauce
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 cup lime juice
3 green onion, chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup chopped roasted peanuts
Directions
Place the chicken breast strips, bell pepper, and onion into a slow cooker. Pour in the chicken broth and 1/4 cup soy sauce, then season with cumin, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir to blend, then cover and cook on low for 4 ½ to 5 hours.
Remove 1 cup of the liquid from the slow cooker, and mix this with the cornstarch, peanut butter, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and lime juice. This should blend into a fairly thick suce. Stir the sauce back into the slower cooker and place the lid on the pot.
Cook on high for 30 minutes. Serve over rice if desired. Garnish with green onions, cilantro and peanuts before serving
