A few recipes to share that are a hit at our house, maybe they will be a hit at yours...

1 - SLOW COOKER THAI CHICKEN THIGHS

8 small boneless chicken thighs
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup asian sesame dressing/marinade
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 Tbsp minced ginger
1 Tbsp soya sauce

Long grain brown rice, I cook enough for four of us.

Place chicken in slow cooker.  Mix the next 5 ingredients until well blended, pour over chicken and cover.  Cook on LOW for 6-8 hrs or HIGH for 3-4 hrs.

Garnish with crushed peanuts and cilantro. I have also steamed broccoli to serve with it or you could also add peas to the rice as an alternative to the broccoli.

2 - BBQ SLOW COOKER CHICKEN

 4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
 2 1/2 cups bbq sauce
 1/4 cup vinegar
 1/4 cup brown sugar
 couple shakes of soy sauce and if you like it hot, 1 tsp hot sauce
 1 tsp garlic powder.

Once again place chicken in slow cooker, mix all other ingredients together and poor over top and cover.  Cook on LOW for 6-8 and HIGH for 3-4.

I cooked the rice with this recipe a little different, I added about 1/2 pkg of taco seasoning to the water and cooked the rice in that to give it a mexican taste as well as added some diced peppers for some veggies!
