SLOW COOKER THAI CHICKEN



Slow Cooker Thai Chicken image

I found this recipe on a Betty Crocker site. The original recipe uses chicken thighs, but this version uses boneless, skinless breasts.

Provided by Claire312

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 4h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 -1 1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
3/4 cup salsa
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon grated gingerroot
1/4 cup chopped peanuts
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Place chicken in crockpot.
  • Mix other ingredients except cilantro.
  • Pour over chicken.
  • Cook for 4 hours on low.
  • Sprinkle cooked chicken with cilantro. This is great served with rice!

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh Thai basil instead of dried. If you can't find Thai basil, you can substitute regular basil, but the flavor will be slightly different.
  • If you don't have coconut aminos, you can use soy sauce or tamari instead. However, coconut aminos have a slightly sweeter flavor that complements the dish well.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of chili flakes to your desired spice level. If you like your food extra spicy, you can also add a finely chopped Thai chili pepper.
  • For a more authentic flavor, use jasmine rice instead of white rice. Jasmine rice has a slightly sweeter flavor and aroma that pairs well with the other ingredients in the dish.
  • If you don't have a slow cooker, you can also make this dish in a Dutch oven or large pot over low heat. Just be sure to stir the ingredients occasionally so that they don't stick to the bottom of the pot.

Conclusion:

This easy slow-cooker Thai chicken with basil is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your desired spice level. Serve it with rice and your favorite Thai side dishes for a complete meal.
