Instructions
- Original Recipe: Place chicken in crockpot. Mix other ingredients except cilantro and peanuts. Pour over chicken. Cook for 4 hours on low. Garnish with cilantro and peanuts.
- Stacy's Modifications - I use whatever meat I have on hand, either boneless skinless breasts or thighs, we like both. I usually use crunchy peanut butter, and if I do, then I usually skip the garnish with peanuts. I do not like cilantro, so I don't use that as a garnish. I've used both bottled creamy and crunchy and also natural peanut butter, and they all work fine.
Recipe Notes
Stacy's Notes: I often serve this over noodles, either asian cellophane noodles or even spaghetti noodles in a pinch. It makes a lot of sauce and we like the sauce over noodles. I'm sure you could do rice, but we haven't tried it with rice. I usually serve something Asian inspired on the side, like veggies, stir fry veggies, potstickers, egg rolls or crab rangoon. This makes a quick and easy Asian inspired dish. Enjoy!
