SLOW COOKER THAI CHICKEN STEW

Steps:

• 1. Line your 6 quart slow cooker with a slow cooker cooking bag for easier cleanup. Assemble all of your ingredients.
• 2. Layer the first 11 ingredients in the order listed in the crockpot. Set the pepper and onion aside to add in later. Set the toppings and coconut milk aside.
• 3. Set the slow cooker on high for 2 1/2 hours, then add the pepper and onion and cook on low for 1 1/2 hours. You can also cook it on low for 6 hours; check at the five hour mark to see if the chicken is cooked.
• 4. Once the chicken and vegetables are cooked, shred the chicken with two forks, discarding the bones*. Add the coconut milk, stir and taste for seasoning.
• 5. Serve with a squeeze of lime, cilantro, and chopped peanuts, if desired.
• 6. *I used bone-in, skinless chicken for extra flavor. Just remove the bones when you shred the chicken. You can also sub four large chicken breasts

Steps:

• Pat the chicken dry and season with salt. In a casserole set over moderately high heat, warm the oil until it is hot, add the chicken and cook it, turning, until no longer pink. Transfer chicken to a plate. Add the onion to the casserole and cook it, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Add the garlic and gingerroot and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the carrots, bell pepper, mushrooms, and salt to taste, and cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes more. Return the chicken to the pan, add the curry paste and cook the mixture, turning and stirring, 1 minute. Add the coconut milk, galanga root powder, lemongrass flakes, cumin, and bay leaf. Bring mixture to a boil, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. Add the broccoli, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, corn, and salt to taste, and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Discard bay leaf. Before serving, stir in the lemon juice, cilantro, and mint.

Steps:

• Combine the salsa, peanut butter, coconut milk, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, and ginger in the crock of a slow cooker; mix well. Place the chicken in the sauce, spoon mixture over chicken to coat.
• Place the lid on the cooker and set to LOW. Cook until chicken is very tender and sauce has thickened, 8 to 9 hours. A meat thermometer, inserted into the thickest part of a thigh should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Garnish with peanuts and cilantro before serving.

SLOW COOKER CHICKEN STEW

Steps:

• Combine first 14 ingredients in an electric slow cooker.
• Cover with lid and cook on high setting for 4 hours or until carrot is tender.
• Combine the water and cornstarch in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk until blended.
• Add cornstarch mixture and frozen peas or edamame (and tofu, if using) to the slow cooker, stir well.
• Re-cover and cook on high-heat setting an 30 additional minutes.
• Serve with hot cooked rice.
• Note: I don't eat much meat and prefer more vegetables, so I often add extra firm cubed tofu at the last 30 minute mark. Tasty! Also good with small new potatoes added at the beginning, which is another good way to stretch the recipe. :).
