Keto Slow Cooker Thai Chicken

When you're just starting out a low carb lifestyle, meal prep can be an essential way to stay on track while still eating yummy food. We found the secret to meal prep is to use a slow cooker. You can add the main ingredients, let the slow cooker work its magic and then sprinkle garnish on top to impress the family. ✨

That's why we love this Slow Cooker Low Carb Thai Peanut Chicken recipe. It's easy to make, and the whole family will love the salty smooth peanut sauce. Made with coconut milk, ginger, garlic and lime juice, this is a low carb chicken dinner that is full of flavor! Our sugar free caramel syrup brings a hint of sweet, to make this taste as good as take-out... but without the carbs!

This yummy low carb slow cooker recipe comes to us from @eat.keto.af. Allie suggests serving the chicken over some shirataki noodles, but cauliflower rice would taste great, too!
