Thai Crockpot Curry Chicken

Step 1

Add curry sauce: Lightly spray slow cooker insert with cooking spray. Add the Curry Sauce ingredients and whisk to combine.

Step 2

Add chicken and veggies: Add the chicken, cauliflower and sweet potatoes and stir to combine, making sure the chicken is submerged after stirring. You can add the bell peppers now for soft bell peppers or about 1/3 way through cooking for firmer peppers.

Step 3

Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours or HIGH for 2 to 3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through to 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. (Always check for doneness on the earlier end of the cooking window, then cook on as needed.) Transfer the chicken to a cutting board.

Step 4

Add cornstarch slurry: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch together with ¼ cup water to make a slurry. Stir into the slow cooker along with the peanut butter and lime juice.

Step 5

Thicken: Cook UNCOVERED on HIGH for 15-20 minutes, until the sauce thickens. Add the chicken as you shred it at any point while the sauce is cooking. You want the chicken to cook in the sauce for at least 10 minutes to soak up the flavor, or better yet, even longer after the heat is turned off.

Step 6

Add chili sauce: Add desired amount of Asian chili sauce to taste (this will make the dish come alive!). Adjust to taste with lime juice, soy sauce, etc. Garnish servings with optional crushed peanuts, fresh basil, cilantro, lime juice and chili sauce. Serve with rice.
