Peanut Chicken

I found a version of this on Pinterest, but wanted to make some changes to make it my own. This Thai-inspired recipe is so amazing, my husband even says it tastes better than takeout. You can serve this over linguine, but I like to serve it over steamed white rice. 

Peanut Chicken

Serves 4

Ingredients

1 cup chicken broth

2/3 cup peanut butter

1/3 cup soy sauce

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon sugar

1 1/2 lbs chicken, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 large red bell pepper, cut into strips

1 package (10 ounces) mushrooms, sliced

3 cups packed fresh spinach

Juice from half fresh lime

Chopped peanuts for garnish

Directions

Combine chicken broth, peanut butter, soy sauce, garlic and sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk to combine. Add broth mixture and chicken to slow cooker. Cook on high for 2 hours and 30 minutes. 

At the 2 hour mark, open the slow cooker and add the bell pepper, mushrooms, spinach and lime juice. Replace lid and continue cooking.

Sprinkle chopped peanuts over each serving.
