Slow Cooker Peanut Chicken And Broccoli Recipes

SLOW-COOKER PEANUT CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Combine the chicken, cornstarch, measured salt, and pepper in a large bowl and toss until the chicken is lightly coated; set aside.
• Heat the oil in a small frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the scallions, garlic, and ginger, season with a pinch of salt, and cook, stirring until bright green and fragrant, about 1 minute. Scrape into a 5-quart or larger slow cooker.
• Add the chicken broth, peanut butter, soy sauce, red curry paste, and sugar. Whisk together until smooth and well-combined. Add the chicken, scraping out any cornstarch stuck to the sides of the bowl, and stir to combine. Cover and cook on the LOW setting without stirring until the chicken is cooked through and tender, 4 to 6 hours.
• Add the broccoli, gently stir to combine, and cover and cook until the broccoli is crisp-tender, 30 to 45 minutes more. Serve over rice, topped with chopped peanuts and scallions. Serve the chili-garlic paste on the side.

PEANUT CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI SHEET PAN SUPPER

Steps:

• Make a peanut sauce: Pour the honey, peanut butter, soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce into a large bowl along with the cayenne pepper, garlic, lime juice and 1/4 cup of olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then whisk together. Reserve 1/2 cup in a small bowl for serving.
• Add the chicken thighs and drumsticks to the large bowl with the remaining sauce and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and line a baking sheet with foil. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on the baking sheet.
• Add the broccoli to a bowl and toss with the remaining tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Place on the sheet pan with the chicken, then bake until the broccoli is tender and golden brown in spots, the chicken is crisp and the internal temperature is 165 degrees F, about 30 minutes. Serve the chicken with the broccoli and rice. Sprinkle with the scallions and serve with the lime wedges and reserved peanut sauce.
