Indonesian Peanut Chicken Recipe

“Here’s a great make-ahead recipe! I cut up fresh chicken, put in a bag with the remaining slow-cooker ingredients and freeze.” To cook her frozen Indonesian Peanut Chicken, Sarah simply removes the bag a day ahead to thaw in the fridge, then pours all the contents into her slow cooker. If the chicken is still partially frozen, she just increases cooking time. Sarah Newman - Brooklyn Center, Minnesota

    Thai peanut sauce can make even leftover chicken an exotic dish. And while peanuts, chicken, and mayo may sound crazy, it works like magic. You'll love this Thai-inspired salad.

We liked and would make it again. I would give it 4.5 stars.

Although I used the hot Asian Chili Sauce, rather than plain American Chili Sauce, we still found this recipe to be rather bland for our tastes. It looked pretty though!

I made this for the first time today. It was very good, we both liked it very much. The one thing I would suggest is doubling the sauce if you're going to serve it over rice. The chicken really soaks up the sauce once you shred it.

My husband and I love this. My kids, not so much.

I've made this recipe twice already and I love it! The first time I forgot to add the Fresh Red Bell Peppers before serving it. Even though it was good, I enjoyed it better with them the second time I made the recipe.
