📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice wine vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes. Whisk everything until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.

2
Take your 6-quart slow cooker and place the chicken breasts or thighs at the bottom. Make sure they are spread out evenly. Pour the delicious peanut sauce you just made all over the chicken. Ensure every piece is well coated in the sauce.
3
Place the lid on your slow cooker. Set it to cook on low heat for 4 to ⏱️ 5 hours. You are looking for the chicken to become tender and fully cooked through.
4
Once the cooking time is up, carefully remove the chicken from the pot. Use two forks to shred the meat into bite-sized pieces. Put the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker and stir it well so it soaks up all that remaining sauce.
5
If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water in a small cup. Stir this mixture and the lime juice into the slow cooker. Cover it again and cook on high for another 20 to ⏱️ 30 minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.
