Thai chicken

Thai chicken in the crockpot.
I must say, I'm not a big fan of meat in the crockpot... turns out rubbery most of the time. And I've never used garlic before, and hardly ever use onions. And don't get me started on red pepper flakes! Whew!

Plus, the ingredients are weird. I mean, does peanut butter and chicken and lime sound good? Sounds ick to me.

But it is good.

Amazing.

I got the chicken thighs on deep sale, so this was a really cheap, easy, and delicious meal.
And it does NOT taste like peanut butter chicken. good. It smells pretty strongly of peanut butter at the end, but Jacob was surprised when I mentioned that there was peanut butter in it.

And you can't taste the red pepper flakes (either the cheap mexican brand ones I got were flavorless or else the flavor dissipated among the mix... I'd like to think the latter) and garlic/onions aren't overwhelming.
