- Add the onion to the bottom of a 6 qt slow cooker. Top with chicken.
- In a medium bowl, combine salsa, peanut butter, broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice and sambal if using. Pour over the chicken.
- Top with the carrots and bell pepper. Cover and cook on low for 3 ½ to 4 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through.
- Transfer the chicken breasts to a bowl and shred using two forks.
- Cook the linguine according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water.
