Slow Cooker Thai Chicken and Noodles: Moist, bite-size pieces of chicken and tender pieces of red bell pepper surrounded by a creamy, peanut sauce with a hint of lime. It sounds exotic but it’s so easy pretty much anyone can make it 🙂

Make it for dinner this week–Pin it for later!

This recipe is originally from March 2009 (2 months after I started blogging). At the time, I was so super excited by the results of this dish because to me it was so exotic and different than the good old casseroles that I was used to making. I felt so accomplished!

This was the first recipe that I made on TV. I was so nervous for that TV spot that I don’t even want to go through the archives to see if I can find the video (too nerdy and nervous). I do remember the TV host saying how the chicken was super moist and I was so proud.  I made it again to re-picture it and was pleased by the results. Still a good recipe, still worth making!  I love the moist bites of chicken, the fresh element of the red bell peppers and the cilantro, and the crunch of the peanuts.  I think you’ll like it too!  Give it a shot 🙂

  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into short thin strips

  • 3/4 cup snipped cilantro
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine broth, soy sauce, garlic, and red pepper flakes in slow cooker, Whisk.
  2. Add in the pieces of chicken and the red bell pepper.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 3 hours.
  4. Mix cornstarch with 1/4 cup water in small bowl until smooth. Turn slow cooker on High. Stir in peanut butter, and cornstarch mixture and lime juice until smooth. Cover and cook 30 minutes or until sauce is thickened and chicken is no longer pink. Stir well.
  5. Serve over pasta. Sprinkle with peanuts or cashews and cilantro.

Notes

    Just came across this recipe and it looks great. Quick question- it says chicken broth divided. Do you not add it all into the crockpot? Thanks!

    I’ve made this twice now and it’s a HUGE hit in my house. I cannot get enough of this stuff, and neither can my husband. We use Thai Kitchen stir fry rice noodles. It’s a perfect Pad Thai knockoff!

    I made this last week and it was delicious. I threw in some onion and zuchini that needed to be eaten. We all loved it. The leftovers weren't bad either. Thanks for a great recipe.

      oops Michelle! I forgot to add that in. I'll be correcting that. I add it in when I add in the cornstarch mixture.

    LOVED IT! I am going to eat the leftovers tonight! I've never cooked anything this tasty! I've never tried a recipe like this-I usually stick to "meat & potatoes". I didn't add the lime. mmm. really. my hubby thought it was okay, but I can't wait to eat it again! sorry. big fan of it. I loved trying new Ingredients and seeing how they tasted cooking them together.
