Crockpot Thai Chicken

Ingredients:
6-8 skinless chicken thighs
3/4 c. salsa
1/4 c. peanut butter
2 Tbsp. lime juice
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. fresh ginger root
1/4 c. chopped peanuts
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro

Directions:
Place chicken in crockpot and mix all the ingredients EXCEPT the peanuts and cilantro. Pour over chicken and cook on low for 8-9 hours. Serve chicken and sauce over rice, sprinkle with peanuts and cilantro.

Result:
Not bad! I was sooo unsure about the salsa and the mixture tasted a little weird, but the flavors came together after it was all done! I added a touch more lime juice and soy sauce and used powdered ginger. I also did not add the peanuts or cilantro at the end as I didn't have it on hand. I cooked it for 4 hours on high and it came out really juicy. Probably could have only cooked it for 3 hours on high. Will make this again and add a little more peanut butter to the sauce and the chopped peanuts at the end next time!
