Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon white sugar

• 2 pounds skinless chicken thighs
• 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, for topping
• 0.75 cup light coconut milk

• 0.25 cup chunky peanut butter
• 0.5 cup chopped peanuts, for topping

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine salsa, peanut butter, coconut milk, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, and ginger in the slow cooker; mix well. Place chicken thighs in sauce; spoon sauce over chicken to coat.

Cover and cook on Low until chicken is very tender and sauce has thickened, 8 to 9 hours. A meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Garnish with peanuts and cilantro before serving.
