- 2 tbsp cornflour
Marinade / Sauce
- 3 cloves garlic crushed
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1 can coconut cream 400 g

Instructions
- Place the crushed garlic, peanut butter, coconut cream, chicken stock cube, boiling water, crushed ginger, soy sauce, mild curry powder, and brown sugar into the base of a slow cooker.
- Stir the ingredients thoroughly until the marinade is well combined. The mixture does not need to be completely smooth at this stage, as it will blend further during cooking.
- Add the sliced onion and sliced capsicum to the slow cooker.
- Add the diced chicken breast or chicken thighs.
- Stir until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated in the satay sauce.
- Cover the slow cooker with the lid.
- Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 7 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- In a small bowl, combine the cornflour with 2 tablespoons of cold water.
- Stir until a smooth slurry forms.
- Add the cornflour slurry to the slow cooker about 20 minutes before serving.
- Stir well to distribute the slurry evenly through the sauce.
- Cover again and continue cooking until the sauce has thickened.
- Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if required.
- Spoon the chicken satay over steamed rice.
- Garnish with fresh coriander and sliced fresh chilli, if desired.
- Serve immediately while hot.
