Why This Dish Is So Satisfying
This dish combines rich, aromatic flavors with the convenience of slow cooking. It’s naturally gluten-free, making it perfect for those with dietary restrictions. Plus, the tender chicken and creamy curry sauce make every bite comforting and satisfying.
Directions
Combine the coconut milk, liquid amino acid, peanut butter, red curry powder, red curry paste, basil, red pepper flakes, and brown sugar right in the slow cooker. Once everything is combined, toss in the chopped onion, bell pepper, and cilantro, and give it a good stir. Nestle the chicken into the sauce, making sure it’s covered. Set the slow cooker to high and let it cook until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, which should take about 3 hours. When the chicken is done, add the snap peas, stir them in, and cook for another 5 to 10 minutes until the peas are tender but still crisp. Then it’s ready to serve!
