THAI CHICKEN THIGHS (CROCK POT)



Thai Chicken Thighs (Crock Pot) image

I found this recipe in 'America's Best Slow Cooker Recipes' by Donna-Marie Pye. I'm sure you can use other parts of the chicken for this recipe but I used boneless, skinless thighs and they were wonderful! I also used all-natural peanut butter so if you use a commercially prepared type, the end result may be a bit different. Also, I cooked this about 9 hours (we were late getting home) and it was just fine.

Time 6h5m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 pound chicken thighs (boneless and skinless, or chicken breasts)
1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
1 1/2 cups water

3 tablespoon peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup coconut milk
3 tablespoon red curry paste
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

Pour the sauce over the chicken and toss the chicken with the sauce so that it's fully covered. There should be enough sauce to fully cover the chicken, if not add a bit more water.

Categories     Chicken Thigh & Leg

Time 8h5m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 2 pounds)
3/4 cup hot salsa
1/4 cup peanut butter
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce (I use San-J low sodium, wheat-free tamari soy sauce)
1 teaspoon grated gingerroot
1/4 cup chopped peanuts
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Place chicken in slow cooker.
  • Mix remaining ingredients except chopped peanuts and cilantro; pour over chicken.
  • Cover and cook on low setting 8 to 9 hours.
  • Sprinkle with peanuts and cilantro.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality chicken thighs with the skin on. You can also substitute boneless, skinless chicken thighs, but they will be less flavorful.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of red curry paste and coconut milk to taste. If you like your curry spicy, add more red curry paste. If you prefer a milder curry, use less red curry paste and more coconut milk.
  • Add vegetables to the crock pot along with the chicken thighs. Good options include broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, and onions.
  • Serve the finished curry over rice or noodles. You can also serve it with a side of naan bread or roti.

Conclusion:

This crock pot Thai chicken thighs recipe is an easy and delicious way to make a flavorful and authentic Thai curry dish. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a restaurant-quality curry that your family and friends will love.
