Instructions

Creating Slow Cooker Peanut Chicken is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken thighs in the bottom of the slow cooker.
2. Mix Sauce Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix until well combined.

5. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours.

7. Shred Chicken: If desired, shred the chicken in the slow cooker and stir it into the sauce to ensure it’s evenly coated.
8. Taste and Adjust: Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary. You can add more soy sauce or honey based on your preference.
9. Garnish: Just before serving, sprinkle chopped green onions on top for added flavor and color.
10. Serve: Serve the peanut chicken over cooked rice or noodles, drizzling extra sauce on top if desired.
