Equipment

  • 1.5L or 3L slow cooker

Ingredients
 

  • 1 kg skinless chicken thigh fillets
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp minced ginger
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • Optional: Cornflour to thicken

Instructions
 

  • Place chicken into slow cooker. Whole or cut into strips.
  • Combine all other ingredients and pour over chicken.
  • Cook on low for 4hrs
  • In the final 15mins of cooking time, stir through a cornflour and water slurry if you wish to thicken the sauce
  • Serve on fried rice, or with your favourite steamed vegetables.
  • Note: I recommend thigh fillets for best results, however you can swap to breast if you prefer but reduce cooking time by 1hr as it tends to be more dry.
  • Note: This recipe can also be found on page 130 of our 6th book READY SET SLOW which is available HERE
