01 -
Grab 1.5–2 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs
→ Sauce stuff
02 -
1 cup creamy, unsweetened peanut butter
03 -
About 1/2 cup soy sauce (go for low-salt if you want)
04 -
A quarter cup of honey or brown sugar
05 -
2 to 3 spoonfuls of rice vinegar or squeeze in some lime juice

1 to 2 teaspoons Sriracha or red chili flakes—up to your heat level

1 cup coconut milk from a can
11 -
Half a cup chicken broth or water, whatever you’ve got handy
# How to Make It:
01 -
Spoon the hot chicken mix onto some steamed rice or whatever you like. Sprinkle top with lime, peanuts, or cilantro if you’re feeling fancy.
02 -
Pull out the chicken and either cut it up or shred it. Pop it back into all that tasty sauce and give everything a good toss.
03 -
Put the lid on and cook on high for 2–3 hours or take it easy on low for about 4–6 hours, till the chicken’s nice and soft.
04 -
Drench the chicken with your sauce, making sure it’s all coated well.
05 -
Pop your chicken in the bottom of the slow cooker, spreading it out in a single layer.
06 -
Toss all the sauce ingredients in a bowl: peanut butter, soy sauce, honey or sugar, vinegar or lime, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, chili, coconut milk, and whatever liquid you picked. Stir or whisk until it’s all creamy and blended.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Coconut milk makes your sauce extra creamy. Want it spicier? Just throw in more chili.
