Slow Cooker Series - Thai Peanut Curry Chicken


Who doesn't like a good easy slow cooker meal? I think it's one of the easiest hassle free meals ever. With the great idea from Nicole we are going to start a slow cooker series for a couple weeks. All three of us are going to post some good recipes that our a hit in our homes.

I made this dish a couple nights ago and my whole family loved it. I found this recipe on this website, The Slender Kitchen. Then pinned it to my "Healthy Grub" board. I think it is a Weight Watchers recipe but I'm not sure on that. I pretty much followed the recipe only instead of using Coriander I used Curry powder to give it more flavor. I really like how it turned out and will use Curry powder from now on. I served it over brown rice. Serving it over noodles or even Quinoa would be awesome too.

Here's the breakdown of the nutritional value (via Slender Kitchen)
Serving Size: 3/4 cup

Place chicken, red peppers, and onion on the bottom of the slow cooker.
In a bowl whisk the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, chicken broth, cumin, and curry powder. Pour over chicken. Cook on high 4 hours or low about 7 hours.
Remove chicken, shred and then put back in slow cooker.

I also topped with a little bit more soy sauce
