    Made this tonight for tea which was a hit and smelt amazing while cooking. I did double the curry powder though for extra flavour.

    Nice easy recipe. The sauce texture is fantastic. Next time I will need to use a better peanut butter to get a stronger flavour.
    I added julienne carrot (2 1/2 hours cooking time) and capsicum (1 hour cooking time) for added veggies.
    This will become a regular in our house.

    Tried this for dinner, i did it on high for 2.5 hours and was perfect. Had heaps of leftover sauce so will freeze it until i have leftover veggies that need using and toss it together. Great easy recipe!

  4. Lovely dish! The whole family loved it.. including 2 young kids! will definatly make this again!

    This is a very easy recipe that was absolutely delicious. A definite ‘doing that one again’. I was entirely faithful to the recipe (normally I like to add things and experiment) except adding 1/2 teaspoon of salt. I really enjoyed the taste, but would love any tips on boosting the peanut effect as I love strong flavors (and in no way is that a knock on this recipe). Another ‘winner winner Paulene’s dinner’ (cos I couldn’t think of an appropriate word to rhyme with lunch).

  6. Dish added to the “Repeat Menu”!!! I added bacon and garlic to the original ingredients and then steamed mixed veg an hour from the end. Served with rice

    Made this for dinner tonight – used 500 grams tenderloin so 1/2 the rest of the ingredients and cooked for a little less time. Even Mr “I’m not eating anything cooked on the slow cooker” enjoyed it and has asked for it again. Thank you.

    Made this for dinner tonight using chicken tenderloins (500 grams) so halved the other ingredients and shortened the cooking time a little. Mr “I’m not eating anything cooked in the slow cooker” enjoyed it and asked for it again. Thank you.

    Yummy. Smelt great when walked in the door from work and kids loved it as well.

  10. Hey I just want to know what chicken is best diced and ingredients if I add more chicken please

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central August 30, 2018

      I prefer thigh fillets diced as listed 🙂
      Ingredients could be doubled if you need a bigger batch

    I have 2 kg of drums to cook for a special birthday tea. Could I do this and double the recipe, please

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central November 2, 2022

      I think you could use the 2kg of chicken drumsticks without needing to increase anything else Dianne, there should be plenty of sauce for that 🙂
