I’m not really sure how to describe this dish to you.

It’s definitely Asian, I can tell you that much.

It has curry paste, but it’s not quite a curry.

It has peanut butter, but it’s not quite a peanut sauce.

Along with the fact that it most certainly has an Asian vibe, I can also tell you that it is out of this world. Did I mention that it can be made while you work all day? Or alternatively, while you go watch football at a bar all day, or alternatively, while you go Holiday shopping all day??

Whatever you do while your asian chicken stew is cooking is really up to you. Heck, maybe you’ll be all healthy and workout! But when its finished cooking and you serve up a big bowl over some brown rice, you’ll be a very happy person.

This, I know.

    This looks so scrumptious! We sadly passed along our crockpot when we moved into our teeny tiny new apartment. I somewhat regret not finding space for it! Any thoughts on how long to cook this if just combining it and letting it cook away on the stovetop? Figure it’d make for a nice weekend afternoon house smell…

    Wow, this sounds so delicious and comforting! I just moved into an apartment with a tiny little kitchen, so I’m sure my crockpot will be getting a lot more use these days!
