Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Slow Cooker Thai Peanut Chicken with Linguine.
Step 1
To create a delicious slow cooker chicken dish, start by gathering your ingredients: chicken strips, creamy peanut butter, savory chicken broth, diced zucchini, vibrant red bell peppers, soy sauce, minced garlic, and a touch of sugar.
Step 2
In your slow cooker, combine all these ingredients, making sure to mix them well so that the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated in that rich, flavorful sauce.
Step 3
Once everything is combined, cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on High for one hour.
Step 4
After that hour has passed, give the mixture a good stir, then cover it again and let it continue cooking for an additional two to three hours.
Step 5
You’ll know it’s ready when the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender and bursting with flavor.
Step 6
When your dish is nearly done, brighten it up by stirring in some fresh lime juice.
Step 7
If you find that the sauce is a bit thinner than you’d like, don’t worry! Just mix half a tablespoon of cornstarch with a little water to create a smooth paste.
Step 8
Whisk this paste into the sauce and let it cook for a few minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 9
Be sure to taste it and adjust the seasonings if needed; this is your chance to make it just right! While the chicken is cooking away, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 10
Add in your linguine and cook it according to the package instructions, which usually takes about eight minutes for that perfect al dente texture.
Step 11
Once the pasta is ready, drain it and gently stir it into the slow cooker with the chicken and sauce, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 12
Finally, serve your delightful dish garnished with chopped peanuts for that extra crunch and a pop of flavor.
Step 13
Enjoy this comforting meal that’s sure to impress family and friends alike!.
