For years I have been trying to duplicate my favourite chinese food dish. It was called Hunan Chicken, a spicy peanut sauce with chicken and vegetables. Its getting closer and closer each time.
I usually use chicken breasts but this time I used boneless skinless chicken thighs due to their higher iron content.
I trimmed and chopped the chicken thighs and added them to the crock pot. I seasoned with pepper. If you are a blog reader of mine you might have noticed I really like pepper :)
I then made the peanut sauce (recipe below) and added it to the crock pot.
I put the lid on the crock pot and set it to high for 2 hours until the chicken was cooked.
After 2 hrs I stirred it and added the shredded lettuce, baby bok choy and broccoli.
I continued cooking until the broccoli was tender. It can be served over rice or noodles.
Spicy Peanut Sauce
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1 cup boiling water
a pinch or two of crushed red pepper flakes (depending upon how spicy you like food)
2 TBS low sodium Tamari Sauce
2 - 3 tsp of honey
Combine all the ingredients together until the peanut butter is mixed into the mixture. Then add to the chicken.
