Indonesian Chicken in Peanut Sauce
Originally found at Diary of a Stay At Home Mom
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
5 carrots, sliced
2 onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/4 cup water
3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp hot pepper flakes
1 tsp white wine vinegar
Place chicken, carrots, onions and garlic in slow cooker. In a small bowl, whisk together water, peanut butter, soy sauce, ginger and hot pepper flakes. Pour into slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours (high for 2 hours) or until vegetables are tender and the chicken juices run clear. Add vinegar. Cover and cook for 10 more minutes. Serve over rice.
My Notes:
I didn't see the water when I initially found this recipe (because it wasn't listed in the ingredients, only in the text), so my solution was very thick. It still worked marvelously. I made this in my 4 quart slow cooker, so keep that in mind when figuring out how much to put in there. I also used onion flakes and dried garlic instead of fresh, mostly because I really hate chopping onions. It still came out beautifully. It was a little thick, and looked kinda gross because everything took on the same brown hue, but the chicken was super tender and it was all peanut goodness.
I will definitely be making it again.
