Slow Cooker Thai Peanut Chicken

You are in for a treat. I was eating this Slow Cooker Thai Peanut Chicken with my husband Mark (he actually made it), and I kept saying “this… this is good.” It’s like it was getting better and better as I ate it.

I’ve had recipes like this in the past that are too heavy on the peanut butter, or too spicy. This one has the perfect blend of nuttiness, sweetness, and just a tiny bit of spice. Mark doesn’t even like peanut butter (I know… what is wrong with him?) and he LOVED this.

Let’s get to the recipe, shall we?

I usually have a pic with all the ingredients… but I forgot this time :(. Well – here they are in a slow cooker… in very poor lighting.

But there’s the finished product – in much better lighting.
