Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 can (13.5 oz) Coconut milk
- 0.5 cup Natural peanut butter
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
- 0.25 cup Chopped peanuts
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 4 cups Cooked jasmine rice (for serving)
Instructions
Spray the inside of your crock pot with non-stick cooking spray or use a crock pot liner for easier cleanup.
Place the chicken thighs in the bottom of the crock pot in a single layer.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, grated ginger, minced garlic, Thai red curry paste, and fish sauce until smooth and well combined.
Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully coated.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW heat for 6-7 hours or on HIGH heat for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Once the chicken is cooked, carefully remove it from the crock pot and place on a serving plate. If desired, spoon the sauce from the crock pot over the chicken.
Garnish the chicken with chopped peanuts, fresh cilantro, and sliced green onions for added flavor and texture.
Serve hot with cooked jasmine rice to soak up the rich peanut sauce.
