Ingredients

  • ¾ cup hot salsa
  • ¼ cup chunky peanut butter
  • ¾ 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
  • ½ 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.

    Recipe Tip

    You can use regular coconut milk instead of light, and smooth peanut butter instead of chunky.
