Notes

  • Slow cooker Thai peanut chicken is another great method of cooking peanut chicken. Simply place the ingredients into the slow cooker. Set the crockpot on low for 4 to 5 hours or high for 3 hours. Stirring occasionally.
  • Thai Sauce - Whisk together your own homemade peanut sauce! The base is peanut butter with low sodium soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and garlic cloves.
  • Vegetables - Add in more veggies! Chopped green onions, broccoli, red bell pepper, or green onion will bring on more deliciousness.
  • Seasonings - If you like it spicier, add in red pepper flakes, sriracha, chili powder, or red curry paste. Not all at once though!
  • Serve with rice noodles, soba noodles, regular rice, brown rice or quinoa.
