Thai Peanut Chicken for Crockpot

Made this last week for the first time. Yum- o
Another easy dish to make.

Thai Peanut Chicken

A spirited combo of coconut milk, peanut butter, and lime juice headline a sensory sauce that’s just the right blend of sweet and tart. It’s a good dish for company, producing a definite wow factor as guests walk in the door.

1 ½ cups converted rice, uncooked, Uncle Ben’s
6 boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 can (14.5-ounce) low sodium chicken broth, Swanson
1 can (14-ounce) coconut milk, Thai Kitchen
2 tablespoons Thai seasoning, Spice Islands
5 tablespoons creamy peanut butter, Skippy
2 tablespoons lime juice, ReaLime (i used fresh)
2 scallion, sliced, plus extra for garnish

1. Place rice in the bottom of a 4 or 5 quart slow cooker. Add chicken.

2. In a large bowl, whish together all remaining ingredients. Pour mixture into slow cooker and stir thoroughly.

3. Cover and cook on LOW setting for 3 ½ to 4 ½ hours.

Serving ideas: Garnish with sliced scallion and wedges of fresh lime.


I also made steamed snow peas mixed with olive oil and black pepper

Ok, realize this might be a stupid question but what is converted rice?

Re: Thai Peanut Chicken for Crockpot

Converted rice cooks faster than regular rice ( I think)

Re: Thai Peanut Chicken for Crockpot

I've made this before, Sandra Lee right?

I liked it, but DH requested I not make it again. Oh well.

Re: Thai Peanut Chicken for Crockpot

I bought all the ingredients to make this but I can't find the Thai Seasoning.....any ideas.

Re: Thai Peanut Chicken for Crockpot

Sounds yummy.. im def going to surprise my husband and make it. Thanks!

Re: Thai Peanut Chicken for Crockpot

I thought so to.....but can't find the Thai seasoning anywhere.
I have been to 3 supermarrkets, 1 Asian Market and trying to search numerous sights online.....not having any luck

Re: Thai Peanut Chicken for Crockpot

I couldn't find the seasoning either. I finally found some thai paste that had the same ingredients as the seasoning. We were disappointed with the dish though. I wouldn't make it again.

Re: Thai Peanut Chicken for Crockpot

Thank you and I will post here if I find it.

Re: Thai Peanut Chicken for Crockpot

I found the spice online, i can't find it in any stores and have been dying to do this recipe, it's currently in the crockpot but unfortunately had to use a thai curry simmer sauce because it's all they had....will make again with the right seasoning though...

Spice Island Thai Seasoning

Re: Thai Peanut Chicken for Crockpot

This sounds good! I might try it next week. I would use a spoonful of thai curry paste (red or green) if you can't find the spice, its best if you fry the paste for a few minutes, that really brings out the flavor!

Re: Thai Peanut Chicken for Crockpot

I did find a Thai Rub at Fairway, just had to add Chili Powder. Came out pretty good, might try again without putting the rice in the crock pot.

Re: Thai Peanut Chicken for Crockpot

This sounds great. I am saving to my notebook. Thanks!
