Ingredients
Chicken Satay Ingredients
- 1 kg boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 3 tsp garlic, minced
- 2 tsp ginger, grated
- 150 g crunchy peanut butter
- 2 tsp mild curry powder
- 3 tbsp honey
- 4 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 2 red peppers, cut into small chunks
- 1-2 limes, juiced
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add chicken thighs, garlic, ginger, peanut butter, curry powder, honey, and soy sauce into the slow cooker. Mix all ingredients well to evenly coat the chicken with the sauce.
- Cook Chicken: Cover with the lid and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or on LOW for at least 6 hours, allowing flavors to meld and chicken to become tender.
- Add Peppers: About 30 minutes before the cooking time ends, stir in the red pepper chunks to soften them slightly while retaining some texture and freshness.
- Finish with Lime: Just before serving, squeeze the juice of 1 to 2 limes over the dish according to taste, adding a bright, tangy finish to the rich peanut sauce.
Notes
- Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for the best texture and flavor absorption.
- Adjust the amount of lime juice depending on your preferred level of acidity and brightness.
- Low sodium soy sauce helps control the saltiness of the dish.
- The peppers can be swapped with other vegetables like carrots or snap peas for a different crunch.
- Serve with steamed rice or fresh salad for a complete meal.
