Main Ingredients

2 lbs chicken thighs (boneless and skinless) Ensure they are boneless and skinless for easy shredding.
120 g peanut butter Creamy peanut butter works best.
60 ml soy sauce Adjust to taste for saltiness.
240 ml coconut milk Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer sauce.
30 ml honey Adds a touch of sweetness to balance the flavors.
2 cloves garlic (minced) Freshly minced for best flavor.
1 inch ginger (grated) Grate finely to distribute evenly in the sauce.

Place chicken thighs in the slow cooker.
In a bowl, mix peanut butter, soy sauce, coconut milk, honey, garlic, and ginger.
Pour the sauce over the chicken.
Cook on low for 4 hours or until the chicken is tender.
Shred the chicken and mix it with the sauce before serving.

Serve with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal. Garnish with chopped peanuts or fresh cilantro for added flavor and texture.
