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
