Crockpot Thai Peanut Chicken Recipe

- 1 small red or orange bell pepper, sliced
- 1 small yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 white onion, chopped
- ½ cup chunky peanut butter
- 1 Tablespoon lime juice
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ¼ cup soy sauce

- 1/4 cup crushed peanuts for topping
- Optional: brown rice or noodles to serve over, large butter lettuce leaves for lettuce wraps, 1/4 cup Cilantro, diced (as a topping)
- Place peppers and onion at the bottom of the crockpot. This will act as a “stand” for the chicken, so it doesn’t dry out.

- Cook for 3-4 hours on HIGH or 6 on LOW. When 15 minutes remain of cooking time, shred chicken with two forks. Cover and continue cooking for the remainder of the time. Remove from crockpot and serve over brown rice, noodles, OR using as a salad topper or in lettuce wraps!

Most chicken crock pot recipes sat 6-8 hours on low. They really get cooked at 4?

I make peanut sauce recipes when the jar is nearing empty. I put all the ingredients into the jar and shake. It gets all the lost bits from the jar and nothing goes to waste.
