Slow Cooker Thai Chicken -- Weight Watchers Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by cosmos2015

Number Of Ingredients 13

13 1/2 ounces light coconut milk
7 teaspoons Thai curry paste, red variety, divided (or to taste)
1 1/2 teaspoons table salt (or to taste)
1/2 head (large) uncooked cauliflower, cut into small florets
1 pound uncooked potatoes, peeled, cut into small chunks
1 medium sweet red pepper, cut into chunks
2 medium uncooked carrots, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1 1/2 pounds uncooked chicken breasts, boneless skinless (6, 4 ounce pieces)
2 tablespoons reduced-fat peanut butter
1/3 cup cilantro, fresh, chopped
3 medium uncooked scallions, sliced
1 medium fresh lime, cut into 6 wedges
2 tablespoons peanuts, salted, chopped

Steps:

  • In a 4x6 quart slow cooker, whisk together coconut milk, 4 teaspoons curry paste and salt until blended. Add cauliflower, potatoes, pepper and carrots; toss to mix and coat. Rub 2 teaspoons curry paste all over chicken; place chicken on top of vegetable mixture. Cover slow cooker and cook on LOW setting until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender, about 5 to 6 hours. Remove chicken to a cutting board and cut into bite-size pieces (or shred using two forks); set aside. Stir peanut butter and remaining 1 teaspoon curry paste into slow cooker until blended. Add chicken back to slow cooker with cilantro and scallions; gently stir to coat. Spoon onto plates or into bowls and serve with lime wedges; sprinkle each serving with 1 teaspoon peanuts. Yields about 1 1/2 cups per serving. Notes: Make sure to cut the cauliflower, carrots and potatoes into similar-size small pieces so they cook through in a similar amount of time. Season to taste with salt and fresh lime juice before serving, if desired. For a spicier kick, serve with sriracha sauce on the side.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1/2 inch strips
1 large red bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
½ cup chicken broth
¼ cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon ground cumin
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons cornstarch
⅔ cup creamy peanut butter
1 tablespoon soy sauce
¼ cup lime juice
3 green onion, chopped
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
½ cup chopped roasted peanuts

Steps:

  • Place the chicken breast strips, bell pepper and onion into a slow cooker. Pour in the chicken broth and 1/4 cup of soy sauce, then season with cumin, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Stir to blend, then cover and cook on Low for 4 1/2 to 5 hours.
  • Remove 1 cup of the liquid from the slow cooker, and mix this with the cornstarch, peanut butter, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and lime juice. This should blend into a fairly thick sauce. Stir the sauce back into the slow cooker, and place the lid on the pot.
  • Cook on High for 30 minutes. Garnish with green onions, cilantro and peanuts before serving.

  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. Thai food is known for its bold and complex flavors, so feel free to add or adjust ingredients to suit your taste.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken. Chicken is a lean protein, so it can easily become dry and tough if it's cooked for too long. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Rice, noodles, and vegetables are all popular accompaniments to Thai chicken dishes.
