Instructions
1-First: heat the oil in a skillet and season your cubed chicken with salt and pepper. Brown it for about 4 minutes to lock in that extra flavor and texture it’s a tip that makes all the difference. Once done, transfer it to your slow cooker and add in the coconut milk, red curry paste, peanut butter, chicken broth, soy sauce, and brown sugar; give it a light stir to mix things up.
2-Next: toss in the sliced onion, minced garlic, ginger, green pepper, and Thai chili peppers, then cover and cook on low for 4 hours. At the 3-hour mark, mix in the rice noodles and let them cook for the remaining hour until the sauce thickens and everything softens just right. While that’s happening, slice your green onions into thin strips and soak them in ice water to make them curl for a fun garnish.
3-Heat oil and brown the chicken for added depth.
4-Combine liquids and spices in the slow cooker for a flavorful base.
5-Add veggies and cook low and slow for 4 hours.
6-Stir in noodles at the 3-hour point to avoid mushiness.
7-Finish with lime juice and fresh garnishes for a burst of flavor.
