Peanut Chicken

9 ingredients
13 steps

Ingredients

  • 8 boneless skinless chicken thighs (more if small)
  • 1 cup chunky salsa (you choose the 'heat')
  • 13 cup chunky peanut butter (or smooth with 1 tbsp chopped peanuts)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 18 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon grated gingerroot
  • 12 cup chopped roasted peanuts (for garnish)

Directions

  1. 1
    In a crock pot, mix all ingredients, stirring to coat chicken.
  2. 2
    Cook on low 8-9 hours.
  3. 3
    Serve on rice, sprinkling chopped peanuts on each serving.
  4. 4
    This is good with coleslaw or a green vegetable.
  5. 5
    Notes:.
  6. 6
    The original recipe had 1/2 tsp salt which I omitted as the soy and salsa have enough salt.
  7. 7
    Both hot and medium salsa have worked for me.
  8. 8
    Smooth salsa also works but a chopped, peeled tomato improves the texture.
  9. 9
    I use unsalted peanuts.
  10. 10
    Because of the salsa and soy, this dish already has more than enough salt.
  11. 11
    1 tsp powdered ginger instead of the ginger root worked just fine.
  12. 12
    I squeezed this into my 2 qt crock pot, cooked it on high until simmering and then turned it down.
  13. 13
    A larger pot would be easier.
