A waste of good peanut butter. I normally love anything with peanut butter, and I have loved all Thai food that I purchased at a restaurant. My taste buds did not like this dish. After reading some of the other reviews I may try this again with less peanut butter.

This is an easy recipe which is nice. I liked how I could cook a dish with Thai-flavors without a lot of exotic ingredients. I made the recipe with the suggested reviewers' modifications like 1/2 cup of peanut butter only and used the whole can of chicken broth. Overall, the dish was just bleh for me. It was a little too salty but extra lime and the garnish does help. My niece really liked the dish though and had seconds. I don't like it enough to make it again or add it to my regular dinner rotation though. Thanks for sharing!

This was really good, as a fan of peanut sauces it was right up my alley. I made with the full 2/3 cup peanut butter and think it could be good with less, but we really enjoyed it as written. I didn't add red pepper or onion as that long in the slow cooker would mush them up, I just used lots of pepper flakes, cayenne, and onion powder. As written it wasn't very spicy. I also used chicken thighs because I've had breasts dry out in my slow cooker, and threw in a bag of frozen stir fry veggies at the end to make up for the pepper/onion I left out. I made the recipe my own but as written this is a filling and flavorful meal, thanks very much for sharing.

Pretty good. It doesn't taste like any Thai I've had, but I haven't had that much Thai so I'm not the best judge. I thought it was a decent slow cooker meal. I had a huge cut up chicken so I doubled the sauce and other ingredients and left the slow cooker on low for about 8 hours to make sure it cooked. The meat just fell off the bone and was pretty good with that sauce. For some reason I thought the sauce would be really thick, like gravy, but it wasn't--and it was pretty good. As other reviewers mentioned, the garnishes are pretty important--allows for an extra punch of flavor that this dish needs. Thanks for the recipe.

This recipe just wasn't for our family. My husband and I each ate one small serving and threw the rest out. The flavor was bland and the texture had a gritty feel to it. It was an easy recipe to make, but I won't be doing that again.

we didnt really like this recipe. I felt the sauce was a funny consistency. It could have been a little sweeter, i guess

This was rather bland and didn't taste much like Thai food. Wouldn't make again.

This dish really came out good. I think next time I would like to try it with dark meat maybe thighs. I thought the chicken breasts were a little over cooked.

I didn't like this after the first few bites, but my fiance loved it and ate several servings. It's a divisive issue; you'll probably either think it's fantastic or it just won't be your cup of tea.
