This recipe is from a Betty Crocker cookbook. The ingredients sound a little odd, but it's easy to make, delicious, and healthy to boot! You can substitute boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead of the chicken thighs. Either way the chicken just falls apart. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil |
8 large chicken thighs, skin removed (about 3 lb) |
1 large onion, chopped (1 cup) |
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained |
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, undrained |
2 tablespoons honey |
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter |
2 cups hot cooked couscous |
1/2 cup dry roasted salted peanut |
Directions:
1. 1. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in oil about 4 minutes, turning once, until brown.
2. 2. In 4- to-5-quart slow cooker, mix onion, diced and crushed tomatoes, honey, cumin and cinnamon. Add chicken. Spoon tomato mixture over chicken.
3. 3. Cover and cook on Low heat setting 7 to 8 hours.
4. 4. Stir in peanut butter until melted and well blended. Serve chicken and sauce over couscous.
5. 5.Sprinkle with chopped roasted peanuts and cilantro if you like.
