Slow Cooker Peanut Chicken And Broccoli Recipes

SLOW COOKER CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Season the chicken chunks lightly with salt and pepper and put them in a slow cooker. Sprinkle over the five-spice powder. Stir together the stock, soy sauce, ginger, sriracha and garlic in a small bowl and pour over the chicken. Cover and cook on high for 3 1/2 hours.
• After 3 1/2 hours, mix together the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Stir it into the slow cooker along with the sesame oil. Add the broccoli and peppers, cover and continue cooking on high for 30 minutes. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning.
• Serve over rice garnished with scallions and sesame seeds.

SLOW-COOKER PEANUT CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Combine the chicken, cornstarch, measured salt, and pepper in a large bowl and toss until the chicken is lightly coated; set aside.
• Heat the oil in a small frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the scallions, garlic, and ginger, season with a pinch of salt, and cook, stirring until bright green and fragrant, about 1 minute. Scrape into a 5-quart or larger slow cooker.
• Add the chicken broth, peanut butter, soy sauce, red curry paste, and sugar. Whisk together until smooth and well-combined. Add the chicken, scraping out any cornstarch stuck to the sides of the bowl, and stir to combine. Cover and cook on the LOW setting without stirring until the chicken is cooked through and tender, 4 to 6 hours.
• Add the broccoli, gently stir to combine, and cover and cook until the broccoli is crisp-tender, 30 to 45 minutes more. Serve over rice, topped with chopped peanuts and scallions. Serve the chili-garlic paste on the side.

SKINNY BROCCOLI AND PEANUT CHICKEN WITH NOODLES

Steps:

• For rub: In a small bowl, combine green onions, ginger, garlic, 2 teaspoons of the oil, and the salt. Sprinkle evenly over chicken; rub in with your fingers.
• For a charcoal grill, place chicken on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Grill for 12 to 15 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer pink (170°F), turning once halfway through grilling. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place chicken on grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.) Thinly slice chicken diagonally; set aside.
• Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, cook rice noodles, broccoli, and carrots in a large amount of boiling water for 3 to 4 minutes or just until noodles are tender; drain. Rinse with cold water; drain again. Using kitchen scissors, snip noodles into short lengths. In a medium bowl, stir together lime peel, lime juice, and the remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Add noodle mixture and the 2 to 3 tablespoons cilantro; toss gently to coat.
• Divide noodle mixture among four serving bowls; add chicken slices. Sprinkle with peanuts and, if desired, additional cilantro. Serve immediately.
• Broiler Directions: Preheat broiler. Place chicken on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat for 12 to 15 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer pink (170°F), turning once.
