METHOD
- In a large slow cooker, add coconut milk, water, peanut butter, soy sauce, garlic, curry powder, turmeric, salt and pepper. Whisk to combine.
- Add chicken thighs, sweet potato, carrot, and onion to the slow cooker. Gently stir so that the sauce covers the chicken and vegetables.
- Cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon and shred with two forks.
- Add shredded chicken back to the slow cooker along with the capsicum and peas. Cover and cook on high for a further 15-20 minutes. Prepare rice as per packet instructions, then serve.
