A delicious and comforting Crockpot dish featuring tender chicken breasts enveloped in a rich Thai peanut sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breasts
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped peanuts and cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts directly into your slow cooker.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, red curry paste, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir until smooth.
  3. Pour this sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.
  5. Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks, then return it to the slow cooker, mixing it with the flavorful sauce.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve over rice and garnish with chopped peanuts and fresh cilantro.

Notes

For a spicier dish, increase the amount of red curry paste. Using full-fat coconut milk will enhance the texture.
