Thai Peanut Chicken

If you like the spicy peanut butter flavor of Chicken Satay, you'll love Thai Peanut Chicken. You can use chicken thighs for a richer flavor or boneless, skinless chicken breasts. And since this is a crock-pot meal, you can prep it in the morning, making it perfect for busy days, or hot summer days when you want to avoid using the oven.

Total Time: 8 hours in the crock pot

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients:

8 skinless chicken thighs (or 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts)
fresh ground black pepper
3/4 cup mild salsa
1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
2 Tbsp lime juice
1 Tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce or fish sauce
2 tsp grated fresh ginger
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
lime wedges

Steps:

Season chicken with black pepper and place in crock-pot.
Combine salsa, peanut butter, lime juice, soy or fish sauce, and fresh ginger in a medium bowl and pour over chicken.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.

There are two chicken thighs or one chicken breast, plus sauce, in a serving. Garnish with chopped cilantro and a lime wedge. In the winter, I like to serve over rice with roasted brussels sprouts or steamed green beans on the side. A Thai salad made up of lettuce, cilantro, cucumber, and with a light lime dressing would be excellent and refreshing during the summer.
