"Chicken thighs get lots of Thai flavor when slow cooked with salsa with peanut butter, coconut milk, and fresh ginger.
Serve over lots of hot white rice."
Ingredients:
3/4 cup hot salsa
1/4 cup chunky peanut butter
3/4 cup light coconut milk
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce 1 teaspoon white sugar
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
2 pounds skinless chicken thighs
1/2 cup chopped peanuts, for topping
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, for topping

Directions:

1. Combine the salsa, peanut butter, coconut milk, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, and ginger in the crock of a slow cooker; mix well. Place the chicken in the sauce, spoon mixture over chicken to coat.
2. Place the lid on the cooker and set to LOW. Cook until chicken is very tender and sauce has thickened, 8 to 9 hours. A meat thermometer, inserted into the thickest part of a thigh should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Garnish with peanuts and cilantro before serving.
