Slow Cooker Thai Peanut Chicken

Pin It Serves 4-6

12 oz linguine or fettuccine noodles, cooked and drained
2 cloves garlic, minced
2/3 cup peanut butter
1 cup chicken broth
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch cubes
1 cup shredded zucchini
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 tsp sugar
1 red pepper, cut into thin, long strips
1 tbsp lime juice
1 cup chopped cilantro, divided
chopped peanuts, for garnish

Add garlic, peanut butter, broth, chicken, zucchini, soy sauce, sugar, and red pepper to slow cooker. Stir to combine. Cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours. A half hour before you are going to serve, add in lime juice and 1/2 cup of cilantro. Serve over noodles and garnish with remaining cilantro and peanuts.

Review:
This was a twist on the day 182's Thai peanut noodles. I loved the use of the red pepper and cilantro. It gave it some color and extra flavor. I was so happy to have leftovers for the lunch the past two days. YUM! 5 stars

We loved this! My sister tried it the following night and her whole family, even the little toddlers loved the "peanut butter chicken." Thanks!

Sorry, not a fan at all. I love peanut butter, but this was more like "gulash". Everyone in our family was disappointed.

I loved this. We didn't add the red pepper because I don't have pepper eaters, but it was great despite that change. I wll make it again.

Delish! I added a little bit of coconut milk, and it gave it a great coconut flavor that we just love. I also served it over brown rice with cilantro. It really was great, and easy!

yum! coconut milk sounds so good.

We just made this last night and it was wonderful. I omitted the red peppers since we didn't have them and added a little bit of red pepper flakes instead. We'll be making this one again!
