Here is a new recipe I tried today, and my family loved it. It was easy and different than the usual, and I was getting stuck in a rut!
Ingredients
6 chicken breast halves
1/4 C. of smooth peanut butter
1 C. of hot salsa (I used 3/4 of mild picante sauce and 1/4 cup of Thai Garlic Pepper Sauce)
2 T. of lime juice (I had lemon juice, so that is what I used)
3 T. of lite soy sauce (it called for one, but it needed more)
1/4 c. of lite corn syrup
2 T. of chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
1. Put chicken in a cooking sprayed crockpot. I put mine in frozen.
2. Mix together salsa, peanut butter, lime or lemon juice, soy sauce and corn syrup. (Note: if you are using just plain salsa you may add a little extra garlic ... I got that taste in the Garlic Pepper sauce)
3. Pour the sauce over the chicken.
4. Cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
5. Serve over rice. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro if you would like. My kids don't like cilantro, so I left it off of theirs but added it to mine and my husband's.

Laura,I once tried a chicken recipe with peanut butter and it was surprisingly good. This one is really different, combining salsa and peanut butter! Do you use mild salsa?
I did use mild picante sauce, but the Thai sauce I used was pretty spicy. If I weren't going to serve it to my kids, I would up the heat, but since I have little ones, I try to make it milder.
What a great idea. Thanks!
That sounds soooo good. I love crockpot cookin!
I just looked at this blog for the first time in ages.....when we are well I am making this!!!
