Satisfying dish with chicken, shrimp, veggies, and flavorful rice. Perfect for all tastes!
Ingredients:
  • 1 package (1 pound 4 ounces) bone-in skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 can (14 ounces) coconut milk (not cream of coconut)
  • 1 package (3.5 ounces) Thai peanut sauce mix (2 envelopes)
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced (1 cup)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped ( 1/2 cup)
  • 3 cups water
  • 3 cups uncooked instant rice
  • 1 pound uncooked peeled deveined medium shrimp, thawed if frozen and tails removed
  • 1 cup frozen sweet peas (from 1-pound bag)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/3 cup chopped peanuts, if desired
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, if desired
Instructions:
  • Add chicken to a 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker and pour in the coconut milk. Stir in both packets of sauce mix, along with the carrots and onion.
  • Simmer covered on low heat for 8 to 10 hours.
  • About 30 minutes before serving, bring water to a boil in a 2-quart saucepan over high heat. Remove from heat, add rice, cover, and let stand for about 5 minutes until water is absorbed. Fluff rice with a fork before serving.
  • Take out the chicken from the cooker and set it aside to stay warm. Introduce the shrimp and peas into the cooker. Turn up the heat to high. Combine 1/4 cup of sauce from the cooker with cornstarch in a small bowl, then mix it into the cooker. Cover and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring now and then, until the shrimp are pink and firm and the sauce has slightly thickened.
  • Next, strip the chicken meat from the bones, give it a rough chop, and add it back to the cooker. Serve the flavorful chicken over a bed of rice, and garnish with a sprinkle of peanuts and fresh cilantro.
