1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
3/4 cup salsa
2 Tablespoons lime juice
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon grated ginger root
1/4 cup chopped peanuts
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Directions:
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.
Poster's Notes: I use crunchy peanut butter and then just leave out the peanuts. Other posters noted it could use some minced garlic & crushed red pepper.
Stacy's Notes - Made Feb 2005. Really good! I used 2 frozen, boneless/skinless chicken breasts and the full amount of sauce. Used Jif reduced-fat creamy peanut butter, bottled lime juice and bottled ginger. Also added crushed red pepper & some minced garlic. Did not garnish with cilantro, but did use chopped peanuts. Served with a box sesame noodle mix (Simply Asia brand) and stir fried vegetables. Really good, a keeper.
More Stacy's Notes - I have made this many times since Feb 2005, and it's always good. You can use boneless skinless thighs or breasts, I have tried both. I have used natural peanut butter and it works fine. I never use cilantro, because I don't like the flavor. I don't make a boxed noodle mix anymore, but just use plain whole-wheat noodles (spaghetti, usually). There's plenty of sauce, so we just eat it over the noodles.
