Slow Cooker Easy Satay Chicken

What Yo Need:

2 chicken breast fillets cut into chunks or you can use chicken pieces  
2 cloves garlic crushed
1 small onion roughly diced (optional)
3-4 tablespoons of crunchy peanut butter( I only had smooth on hand so just blitzed some almonds and threw them in for crunch and texture)
2 tbsp of soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon of tomato sauce
1 tablespoon of sweet chilli sauce 
2 med red Chillies chopped (optional)
3/4 tin coconut milk
1 tablespoon lime juice 
1 tablespoons of cornflour ( to be added at end of cooking if needed)

What to Do:

1. Place chicken and onion into slow cooker bowl.
2.Combine all the sauces and coconut milk and peanut butter and add to slow cooker
3. Cover and cook on low for 6hrs or high for 3hrs (cooking time varies between slow cookers)
4. If it looks a little dry add a little more coconut milk or if you need to thicken sauce at end of cooking, mix a spoonful of the sauce with 1 tablespoons of  cornflour and add to dish if needed
6. Serve with rice, vegetable, couscous or whatever you prefer. Garnish with coriander or shallots if you have them.

*Note*

Vegetables can be added to the sauce instead of meat if you prefer
Fine sliced vegetables such as carrot, celery and onion ,broccoli, beans are great.

My Verdict: 

The kids should love this as long (as they don't have a nut allergy) even with the two mild chillies in it. Personally for me though it wasn't spicy enough. But when I have had the best Thai Satay from my favorite restaurant I guess it is going to be hard to top. And so I  had to chop and fry up another two hot chill's seeds and all then added to the cooked chicken to give it some kick. I also didn't need to thicken the sauce with cornflour either it was pretty thick and personally I like lots of sauce,
