Slow Cooker Thai Chicken

This tasty Thai recipe is made more simple to assemble thanks to the use of whole chicken breast. No chopping or cubing, the placement of the breasts on top of the vegetables in the slow cooker keeps them safe from overcooking and yields a wonderful texture, ideal for shredding. The flavorful blend of curry paste, coconut milk and peanut butter bring the authentic flavors of Thailand to your table. Ideal for a weeknight meal, this recipe is also wonderful for entertaining. The zing of the fresh lime, bite of the green onion, and herbaceous notes in the cilantro make each bite full of fresh, bright flavors. Serve over steamed rice to ensure all the flavorful liquid is consumed or plate with a fresh salad of arugula, cabbage, radishes and a citrus vinaigrette to amp the veggies.
