I haven't made this in a while but did make it tonight and WOW is it good!!! I use frozen chicken breasts which keeps it moist and from overcooking, and double the sauce ingredients.   I forgot to add the peanuts and the cilantro, and it didn't need them.  Here's the recipe:


 


Thai Chicken <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />


 


4-5 boneless/skinless chicken breasts (I use frozen to avoid over cooking)


3/4 cup hot salsa


1/4 cup peanut butter


2 T. soy sauce


1 t. grated gingerroot


1/4 cup chopped peanuts


2 T. chopped fresh cilantro


 


Place chicken in 3 1/2 to 6-quart slow cooker. Mix remaining ingredients except peanuts and cilantro; pour over chicken.


 


Cover and cook on low heat setting 8 to 9 hours or until juice of chicken is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut. Remove chicken from cooker, using slotted spoon; place on serving platter.


 


Remove sauce from slow cooker; skim fat from sauce. Pour over chicken. Sprinkle with peanuts and cilantro.


 


4 servings


 


You can serve with your choice of veggies and over brown rice, spaghetti squash, or mix regular pasta with equal parts of whole wheat for a delicious meal.  If in phase one just serve with lots of veggies.  Sooooo good!

Nope they are raw - - the big ones you get in big bag at warehouse food store, or Tyson has these big boneless skinless chicken breasts.

Susan, this is in my crock pot today! :)

Will serve with string beans, brown rice, and a salad from our garden.

Thinking about Maggie's Key Lime Pie for dessert. . .

yikes!

well, I didn't really measure the salsa, just used up leftovers. Maybe I'll mix in some more PB and soy sauce. I was pretty generous with the ginger. can you tell I don't really measure when I cook?

Thanks so much for posting this recipe! I finally got a chance to try it this weekend, and it was a hit! My BF went on and on about how great of a cook I am. :) I'll be making this one again very soon!
