chopped fresh cilantro

1. Place chicken thighs in slow cooker. In a bowl combine stock, peanut butter, soy sauce, cilantro, lime juice, chili pepper, and ginger. Mix well and pour sauce over chicken.

3. Serve garnished with chopped peanuts and additional fresh cilantro.

Review:
This recipe was very similar to the thai chicken that I did for Good Things Utah. The difference was that this one was a little more potent and it also used bone in chicken thighs. The next time I make this one I’m going to combine the 2 recipes. I’ll use the previous one for everything except the lime juice and the bone in chicken from this one. The chicken was sooo yummy and tender…definitely worth the yucky task of deskinning it. 4 stars.
