PALEO SLOW COOKER CHICKEN PAD THAI WITH VEGGIE NOODLES RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Season your chicken with salt and pepper, and a little bit of the cayenne pepper and ginger powder. If you have time, brown your chicken in a cast iron skillet to get the flavors going. This step is completely optional. In your crock, add your coconut milk and chicken stock. Stir well. If you are using a full-fat coconut milk, make sure you stir until the coconut milk is fully dissolved into the chicken stock. Add your SunButter, coconut aminos, fish sauce, ginger, garlic, 2 green onions chopped including the whites, cayenne, and red pepper. Stir well until your SunButter is completely dissolved. Place your chicken breasts or thighs into your base liquid. Turn your zucchinis into veggie noodles with your spiral slicer, shred your carrots, and wash your bean sprouts. Toss your zucchini noodles, carrots, and bean sprouts together on your counter to mix them well. Nest, or balance your veggie noodles on top of your liquid and meat base in your slow cooker, and press down every so slightly. The goal is for them to be steamed, not stewed. Cook for 3.5 to 4 hours on low if you are using a 4-Quart Slow cooker. Cook for no more than 6 hours on low (5 is ideal) if you are using a 6-Quart slow cooker. To serve, remove the noodles first and set aside, making sure they are strained of any retained liquid. Removed your chicken breasts or thighs. Debone if necessary, then chop into strips. Add back some of the remaining sauce/broth from the crock to the meat and mix well. Place your meat and sauce over your noodles, and garnish with green onions (scallions), chopped cilantro, and chopped cashews. Enjoy!
