I made the recipe just how it was written for an Asian Pot Luck Party. Some of the people at this party are big time Asian cooks and they all agreed that it tasted great. I too liked it. By the end of the party the slow cooker was empty....

I did like this recipe, but made an adjustment to the ingredients. I cut back on the peanut butter, to 1/2 cup, no peanuts on top and DID NOT use cornstarch. I really hate cornstarch, I used flour instead. Also, I felt this recipe need something else, so when I served it, I added chopped cucumber with the cilantro, it needed this! Also, do not add any salt, this recipe was too salty with the soy.

I agree, when I READ the recipe, it didn't sound "THAI" but it sounded GOOD (I like peanut butter). And it was excellent. I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken was tender, overall nice and juicy - plenty of sauce to cover the rice I served it over. My sister, who turned up her nose at the idea of it, loved it.

People, don't say the recipe is "okay" and then give it 5 stars. What the heck? If its okay, it gets 3 stars at best. Let's try to use the star system to our advantage. This was ok, not great, not 5 stars.

Geez people, I don't understand why so many reviews are so harsh on this recipe. It's good, who cares if it's authentic Thai or not as long as it is healthy with good flavor!!?? I made just as directed with absolutely no changes, served over angel-hair like pasta and my family really enjoyed this nice change of pace. I will make it again!

Once I was able to sift through all the criticizing of others and nitpicking and find REAL reviews of the RECIPE, it looks like something I would love to try. Thanks for the tips about liquid quantity and cooking tips. I look forward to making it soon.

I found the chicken gets over-cooked and very dry in the crockpot. The ingredients should create a wonderful taste but I think the next time I would just do this on the stove and not cook so long.

This was very very good, The Chicken Satay is one of my favorites... I love how people change things and then say oh I didn't like this.... Read it first, if you don't like that kind of food don't eat it... I use my Crock Pot for EVERYTHING I can,I even convert alot of things which is very easy to do and they have instructions for that too,... It is very much a time saver for me and being disabled it helps out alot as I can not stand a long time or keep bending...Great flavor and if they want they can skewer the meat after and gee maybe throw it under a broiler for 3 min or so to get a little crispy.... Be inventive people and just because you make changes don't need to be rude about it, after all we all tend to change to our own taste...Thanks for a wonderful recipe great taste and wonderfully easy!!!

Made this today for myself and my parents (husband can't stand peanut butter anything) and I have to say that it was surprisingly good, based on the mixed reviews. I did cut back on the peanut butter to half a cup and when I thickened the sauce, I started with a tablespoon of corn starch, then cooked on high with the lid off the slow cooker. Ended up spooning some sauce back out to add about another half tablespoon of corn starch and it was perfect. I normally am not fond of red peppers, but I think they made this dish fantastic. I had to give my parents a copy of the recipe before they left this evening, so I would say this one is a keeper. Thank you for sharing it.

Very good - quickly became a family favorite. I left out the bell peppers, and instead added carrots and potatoes. I also use Thai Garlic chili paste instead of the red pepper flakes.

I love Thai food and this was like peanutbutter chicken. I had to freeze it untill I figure out how to make this edible. I read some reviews and I think I will add coconut milk, red curry paste, snow peas, carrots, and bean spouts. See how it goes.

I hate to give negative reviews but because this is a "slow cooker" meal i dont want anyone to wait with anxious anticipation for hours on end just to experience the same disappointment that I did. I had a hard time getting through one plate of this stuff, good thing i halved it because i would have been upset at the thought of wasting anymore food. Typical thai food blends sour, sweet, hot this recipe fell short. I was very disappointed.

I use my slow cooker a lot, and this is absolutely the best recipe I have! If you like spicy thai food, this is for you. I serve it with jasmine rice.

This recipe is quite good. I'm thinking of trying a few things differently next time: more lime juice, more soy sauce, half of the cumin and some chicken thighs along with the breasts.

Great recipe, did not have lime juice or green onion, but added instead baby carrots to the crock pot, was wonderful. I also used whole chicken, it fell off the bone.
