Spicy CrockPot Thai Chicken

This is one of my family's very favorite dinners. One of the best things about this recipe is how easy it is to adjust to your own tastes. I entered it in with my true ingredients, which are SPICY! If you don't like it super spicy, adjust your ratio of Sweet Thai chili sauce (found in the grocery store asian food section) and the spicy Sambal Oelek (found in the same section). Try 1/4 cup of sambal oelek and 3/4 cup sweet chili sauce. Also very good with skinless chicken thighs, trimmed. I just ordered PB2 and am looking forward to trying it with this recipe, to cut the fat back even further!Submitted by: MISSRED1970

My wife loved it (yay), I would have liked a little more sweetness. I might dredge the chicken in a couple Tbs of flour next time. Also, cooking the veg separately and the chicken in 2 batches to keep help it brown and not steam in its own juices. Added a bag of steamed broccoli. - 6/25/12

Been making this version of General Tso's for years. We add a couple of small heads' worth of broccoli (blanched) at the very end. - 6/10/12
