Crock Pot Thai Chicken

I had been wanting Thai food, but wanted to make sure there wasn't a ton of sugars and other stuff I couldn't eat in it. So I came up with this recipe! Best thing about this recipe is that I pretty much always have all the ingredients on hand, just had to run to the store for some limes and fresh ginger!

Small jar salsa
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup light coconut milk
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon garlic chili paste (no sugar added)
2 teaspoons salt
3 chicken breasts 
chopped peanuts, green onion and cilantro as garnish
Red pepper cut very thin
bean sprouts
Brown rice or quinoa


Directions: 
  • Mix all of the ingredients (minus the last 5) together in a bowl. 
  • Put the chicken in the crock pot and cover with the sauce.
  • Cook on low for 8 hours. 
  • When it is done and you are about to eat, mix in the thinly cut red pepper and the bean sprouts. You want the pepper to be very fresh. You can also add other veggies at this point too if you want!
  • Make some brown rice or quinoa to serve it over. 
  • Garnish with chopped peanuts, green onion and cilantro. 
  • Salt a little more if you need it. I also served it with more garlic chili sauce.
