Ingredients:

Serving

8 boneless skinless chicken thighs (more if small)
1 cup chunky salsa (you choose the 'heat')
1/3 cup chunky peanut butter (or smooth with 1 tbsp chopped peanuts)
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp sugar
1/8 tsp pepper
1 tbsp grated gingerroot
1/2 cup chopped roasted peanuts (for garnish )

Directions:

In a crock pot, mix all ingredients, stirring to coat chicken.
Cook on low 8-9 hours.
Serve on rice, sprinkling chopped peanuts on each serving.
This is good with coleslaw or a green vegetable.
Notes:.
The original recipe had 1/2 tsp salt which I omitted as the soy and salsa have enough salt.
Both hot and medium salsa have worked for me. Smooth salsa also works but a chopped, peeled tomato improves the texture.
I use unsalted peanuts. Because of the salsa and soy, this dish already has more than enough salt.
1 tsp powdered ginger instead of the ginger root worked just fine.
I squeezed this into my 2 qt crock pot, cooked it on high until simmering and then turned it down. A larger pot would be easier.
