What to serve with slow cooker peanut butter chicken?

Enjoy this meal served over white rice topped with the chopped roasted peanuts. Plus,  I actually have a tip to make dinner even easier and faster.

Learn how to freeze rice and you can make this meal even easier. I love to grab the rice from the freezer in the morning and when we come home it is all ready to reheat and serve.

We do this for lots of meals and it helps put together a quick meal. This saves a ton of time so I would definitely recommend doing this.

If you aren’t freezing rice, you should be!

Brown rice is also delicious in this meal. Just use what you prefer and your family enjoys the most.

You can’t go wrong with this recipe. Try it this week and let us know what everyone thinks. It is just so easy.

If you are in the market for something new, I really love my Ninja cooker. The nice thing about this is you can brown the meat in the same slow cooker.

It is so handy to just have the one pan to clean. It has become of my favorite kitchen appliances.

I also really like this crockpot as well.  I use this all the time and it’s great.

My favorite feature is that you can lock the lid down. This is awesome for when you need to take the crockpot somewhere.

I often use the slow cooker to take dishes to potluck events and this feature is amazing! There are several others on sale here.

Another favorite is this programmable crock pot  for when I am am not at home all day. I love coming home to a nice meal ready and waiting!

I also like to use crock pot liners to make clean up a breeze. These are worth every penny and save a ton of time.

Make dinner time even easier and use the crock pot liners. Trust me.

You can also use the instant pot to make this recipe.

This is one of our favorite slow cooker Thai chicken recipes!

Give this a try for a great dinner idea even during busy weeknights. The chicken breast is out of this world and just packed with so much flavor.

The cooking time can be adjusted based on high or low settings. I prefer to cook on low but have also used the high setting. You can even use the instant pot.

If you like it spicy, try adding red pepper flakes with fish sauce. We have even added diced sweet potato for a different flavor.

Slow Cooker Thai peanut chicken is so yummy with the lime juice, sesame oil and soy sauce and more. It all combines for a great meal.

I love how simple the recipe is and easy to adapt to what you have. You can use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts. Try green bell peppers instead of red or even add onion if you like.
