Description

These crockpot Thai chicken thighs are slow-cooked with hot salsa, peanut butter, coconut milk, and fresh ginger. Serve over lots of hot white rice.

Ingredients

3/4 cup hot salsa
1/4 cup chunky peanut butter
3/4 cup light coconut milk
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon white sugar
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
2 pounds skinless chicken thighs
1/2 cup chopped peanuts, for topping
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, for topping

Directions

1 Combine salsa, peanut butter, coconut milk, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, and ginger in the slow cooker; mix well. Place chicken thighs in sauce; spoon sauce over chicken to coat.
2 Cover and cook on Low until chicken is very tender and sauce has thickened, 8 to 9 hours. A meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Garnish with peanuts and cilantro before serving.
