This chicken dish is not only delicious but it's super easy! AND it's a Crockpot meal. Anybody else love those for busy days? Oh, and it's Whole30 or Paleo compliant. If eating were bowling this meal would be a turkey :)
To give credit where credit is due, I adapted this from a recipe I found here.
Thai Almond Chicken
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or 8 b/s chicken thighs (or whatever you need to feed your family)
1 C salsa (I made my own but I'm sure you could open up jar of your favorite chunky salsa if you're not cutting sugar right now).
1/2 C Almond butter
2 T lime juice
1 T coconut aminos (or soy sauce. Or rice vinegar. Or leave it out)
1 - 2 tsp fresh grated ginger root
Cashews, green onions, and cilantro for garnish
1. Put the chicken in the crock pot
2. Mix everything else together (except the garnish) and pour over the chicken
3. Turn on the crock pot (no, seriously. I have forgotten to do this before....haha)
4. Cook on low for 7 - 8 hours
When you're ready to serve take out the chicken. Scrape the sauce off the top and back into the crock pot so you can mix it all together for a thicker sauce.
I loved this served over cauliflower rice but if you're eating grains I think it would be really good over rice made with coconut milk, or even curried rice.
Enjoy! If you make this, let me know what you think :)
