Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
- Sprinkle the black pepper evenly over the chicken thighs. Ensure they are well-coated for maximum flavor.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the peanut butter, salsa sauce, lime juice, soy sauce, and grated ginger root.
- Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated and the sauce is smooth.
- Place the seasoned chicken thighs into the slow cooker, arranging them in a single layer if possible.
- Pour the prepared peanut sauce over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Cover the slow cooker with its lid.
- Cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours. The chicken should be tender and cooked through.
- Once cooked, taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Garnish with the coriander leaves just before serving for a burst of fresh flavor.
- Serve hot with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed rice, noodles, or a fresh salad.
- Optionally, you can sprinkle additional chopped coriander and lime wedges for extra freshness.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, marinate the chicken thighs in the lime juice and soy sauce for an hour before cooking.
- If preferred, you can use boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead of thighs.
- Adjust the level of spiciness by selecting mild, medium, or hot salsa sauce based on your preference.
- Add some crushed peanuts or chopped fresh coriander leaves as garnish before serving for a crunchy texture and a burst of fresh flavor.
- To make the dish more vibrant, consider adding some freshly chopped bell peppers or baby spinach in the last 30 minutes of cooking.
This flavorful Slow Cooker Thai Peanut Chicken with Coriander and Lime is a hearty meal that brings the taste of Thai cuisine right into your kitchen. Serve it over steamed rice, noodles, or a simple fresh salad, and enjoy a dish that balances richness, tanginess, and spice seamlessly.
