Ingredients
- 1 (14 oz) can full fat coconut milk could also use lite
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Additional, optional ingredients

Instructions
-
Grease crockpot with cooking spray.
-
Whisk together sauce ingredients: coconut milk, peanut butter, red curry paste, fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, garlic, chicken stock, ground ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes directly in the crockpot.
-
Place chicken breasts on top.
-
Spoon sauce over the chicken, so it’s fully submerged.
-
Cook in crockpot on LOW for 3 hours.
-
After 3 hours, remove chicken from the crockpot and cut into large, bite sized chunks. Place back into the sauce and stir to coat.
-
Serve immediately with sauteed bell peppers over rice. Top with chopped cilantro, crushed peanuts, and sliced green onions.
Notes
*For the bell peppers: I just warmed a nonstick pan over medium heat. Once hot, I added in olive oil and let it coat the pan. Then I added in large bell pepper chunks, seasoned with salt, and sauteed them until they were tender (about 10 minutes).
