Peanut Butter Chicken - LOW CARB -
A creamy peanut butter chicken that's perfect for those wanting low carb
Serving: 5
Ingredients
- 1kg skinless chicken thigh fillets
- 300ml cooking cream
- 1/2 cup chicken stock liquid
- 2 tblsp of soy sauce (I used low salt version)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 tblsp minced garlic
- S&P to taste
Instructions
- Place raw chicken fillets in slow cooker (whole)
- Combine all other ingredients in a jug and whisk to combine well
- Pour over chicken
- Cook on low for 4.5hrs
- Prior to serving I pulled apart/shredded chicken in the slow cooker
- It comes apart easily just with two plastic utensils so as not to scratch your cooker
- For low carb I serve mine on carb free konjac "pasta"
- The rest of the family had theirs on regular pasta
Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
It looks really yum but it would be very helpful if you could include the nutritional value , love to see more,,,,
I don’t do that no as I’d rather people following low carb calculate their own eating regime 🙂
However I can tell you that I work it out to be around 5.8g of carbs per serve!
Made this for the first time last night and found it very easy to make and was very nice to eat.
I was inspired by this recipe but primped it with onions and garlic fried with yellow curry paste plus chilli flakes, grated ginger and Kaffir lime leaves. It worked REALLY well. Because I wasn’t worried about the carbs I served it with black rice boiled then chucked into a thermos for the same time as the meal.
This was a hit, nice and easy to make. I had mine with zoodles.
Does the type of peanut butter matter? I.e crunchy or smooth?
I used smooth but either would be fine 🙂
I loved this. So easy to make compared to my previous satay recipe. Eldest daughter loved it the way it was (and she hates chicken thighs), but hubby felt it was missing something. Next time when I make it, because I will be making it again, I might add a couple of dashes of Tobasco sauce to it to give it a little bit of kick. Being that I am Insulin Resistant and should be curbing my carb intake, I am loving that it is low carb, even if I did eat it with rice ;).
This was so easy to make and yummy too! My kids also enjoyed it. Hubby wasn’t a huge fan, he thought it was okay, but he is happy to take leftovers to work tomorrow for lunch 😉 We had rice with it, and some steamed vegies.. I will definitely make it again.
Would low fat not yoghurt/Quark make a suitable substitute for the cream?
I’ve not tried to be sure but let me know pls if you do 🙂
I made this as a low carb dish so didn’t use yoghurt myself
I tried this last night, it was so easy to make and tasted delicious! Will definitely make it again.
Hi Pauline, if substituting coconut cream for cooking cream (dairy intolerance) do you think it would curdle like regular cream apparently does?
I’m not certain since I’ve not tried it but this will help with tips (eg add cornflour) >>> Avoiding splitting
This was a huge hit in this house. One of the best peanut/satay chicken recipes I’ve found. Served with zoodles. Sooo good
Another winner!!! Thank you so much x
I did vary it a bit as was out of cooking cream. I used coconut milk, 2 heaped tablespoons if cornflour and I added a thumb of ginger. Yummo!!!!
Huge hit with my family!!
We just love this. So tasty and easy to make. Good for the waist line too. Thank you Pauline for yet another beautiful recipe. 😋
Could I use coconut milk instead of cream?
