Thai Yum!

A yummy new recipe from Wendy, an A-Town High classmate from the time before the Internet (good thing I hadn't hidden her or else I wouldn't have heard about this one).....

Slow-Cooker Thai Peanut Chicken

2 lbs chicken
¾ cup hot chunky-style salsa (I use mild and 1 cup)
¼ cup peanut butter (I do ½ cup)
2 Tbsp lime juice
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tsp grated gingerroot (I use ¼ Tsp ground ginger if I don’t have fresh)
¼ cup chopped peanuts
2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (I omit if I don’t have it)

Place chicken in slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine all remaining ingredients except peanuts and cilantro; mix well. Pour over chicken.
Cover; cook on low setting for 8-9 hours or high 4-4 ½ hours.
Remove chicken and pull chicken. Put back in and stir in with sauce. Sprinkle with peanuts and cilantro. Serve over brown rice.
