Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces
- 1 red bell pepper cut into ½ inch cubes
For the Sauce:
- 14 ounces coconut milk 1 can
- 1 tablespoon red curry paste note 1
- 4 tablespoons peanut butter
- 3 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons minced or grated ginger
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 small onion finely diced
Instructions
- Stir together all ingredients for the sauce directly in the slow cooker.
- Add the chicken and the bell pepper, give it a good stir. Cook on LOW for 3-4 hours, depending on the size of your chicken pieces (note 2).
- Give it another stir and serve over rice or naan bread with scallion rings and fresh lime juice. The juice will lighten up the heavy sauce and give it a nice zing.

- Note 1: This amount will add a nice tanginess to the sauce. If you don't like that, add only 1 teaspoon.
- Note 2: Don´t cook on high if it is not absolutely necessary. The coconut milk might curdle when it gets too high. This is only an aesthetic problem, it doesn´t change the taste or quality of the dish.
