Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• ⅔ cup creamy peanut butter
• ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
• salt and pepper to taste
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• ½ cup chicken broth
• 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1/2 inch strips
• ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
• ¼ cup lime juice
• 1 large onion, coarsely chopped
• ½ cup chopped roasted peanuts
• 1 large red bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
• 3 green onion, chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place the chicken breast strips, bell pepper and onion into a slow cooker. Pour in the chicken broth and 1/4 cup of soy sauce, then season with cumin, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Stir to blend, then cover and cook on Low for 4 1/2 to 5 hours.

Step 2

Remove 1 cup of the liquid from the slow cooker, and mix this with the cornstarch, peanut butter, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and lime juice. This should blend into a fairly thick sauce. Stir the sauce back into the slow cooker, and place the lid on the pot.

Step 3

Cook on High for 30 minutes. Garnish with green onions, cilantro and peanuts before serving.
