Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast about 8 ounces each
  • 3/4 cup light coconut milk canned
  • 4 sticks lemongrass dried
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter
  • 1 lime zest and juice
  • 2 tablespoons peanuts chopped

Instructions

  • Pour the light coconut milk into the slow cooker. Using a whisk, blend in the peanut butter until it is well dissolved in the milk.
  • Place the chicken breasts in the milk, toss in the lemongrass and add the lime juice and zest over the top. (reserve the peanuts for after cooking)
  • Cook on low for 4 hours or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees.
  • When finished cooking, shred the chicken with two forks and stir in the peanuts.
  • Eat as it is or serve over a bed of bean threads as we did here (cooked to package directions)

Notes

Nutrition Facts do not include bean threads.
Thai food typically has some kick to it. We did not add any hot spices for personal reasons. But you can certainly stir in some cayenne or other pepper to give it that kick that most people expect.
