Yes – I realize that yesterday I wrote about my addiction to peanut butter and today I am writing a recipe that includes peanut butter – maybe I am not quite over my addiction yet and I am trying to finish the jar so I don’t continue to eat it by the spoonful – however it may be worth it to have around just to make this yummy chicken – creamy, delicious, and honestly just as good as the Thai peanut chicken I order from around the corner. I served it over a 1/2 cup of rice noodles for an extra 2 points. I adapted this recipe from a terrific blog called A Year Of Slow Cooking to lighten it up a bit.

Any suggestions for modifying this so it can be made without a slow cooker? Thanks so much!
So I imagine you could easily make this in a saute pan, although I have never tried it. I would first the make the peanut sauce and set it aside. Then saute the onions and red peppers for 4-5 minutes. Then add the chicken and brown it on both sides sides. Then pour in the peanut sauce and let it all simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. I think that would work – let me know if it does.
I did this in the frying pan. It was so delicious!
served it with brown rice. great meal.
I had never thought to try it in the frying pan but definitely going to do that – thanks! Glad you liked it!
I made this last night in the crockpot, and it was delicious!! Keep the recipes coming, I have loved them all so far and always get excited when I see a new one in my reader!
Thanks so much! Let me know if you have any ideas for future recipes…I am always looking
