Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- 0.25 cup chopped peanuts (for garnish)
- 4 cups cooked jasmine rice (for serving)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your crock pot in an even layer.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, ground ginger, and red curry paste until smooth.
Pour the peanut sauce over the chicken breasts, ensuring all the chicken is evenly coated.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6–8 hours.
Once the chicken is cooked through and tender, carefully remove it from the crock pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and stir to coat it in the sauce.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning, if needed (e.g., adding more soy sauce for saltiness or lime juice for acidity).
Serve the Thai chicken over cooked jasmine rice and garnish with chopped cilantro and peanuts for added texture and flavor.
Enjoy your Crock Pot Thai Chicken!
