Crock Pot Thai Peanut Chicken
I promise, if you come home from a long day of work to this Crock Pot Thai Peanut Chicken, you will be drooling from the flavorful aroma! This light and healthy chicken has a rich flavor from a homemade Thai Peanut Sauce that whips up in your blender in no time. This chicken is wonderful served with a side of rice, used to top a pizza or rolled up in a wrap for lunch. You will find all sorts of amazing ways to enjoy the leftovers if there are any!
Are you starting to say your sad goodbyes to fresh summer veggies? I know we are on the last of our garden tomatoes right now and I am trying to enjoy them in everything! I have been making this Fresh Tomato Basil & Burrata Salad over and over. BLTs are at the top of my list as well!
If you are moving on to heavier fall flavors but still want something healthy for dinner, this Crock Pot Thai Peanut Chicken is a must try! You can finish it off with some fresh cliantro and you will have a bright dish with hearty flavors you will love. My personal favorite way to enjoy this chicken is by tossing it on a naan bread topped with some cheese for a flatbread or mixed in a salad. No matter what you do, be sure and top it with fresh chopped peanuts for a great crunch!
