Here’s an easy and mild slow cooker chicken satay recipe that adds just the right heat without being too spicy!

After way too many 90 degree days when I was more than ready to put my fall boots back on, we finally are having cool, crisp autumn air and it’s got me in the mood to dust off my Crock Pot once again.

If you’ve ever had authentic Thai chicken satay, you’ll know it has a sweet and spicy peanut sauce made with flavor-packed ingredients like lemongrass, ginger and crushed red pepper flakes.

Here, I have made an easy and mild chicken satay in the slow cooker, that adds just the right heat from red and yellow bell peppers and everyday pantry staples that can be picked up at Meijer. Served over jasmine rice, it’s a hearty dish so easy to make and so delicious, you’ll keep this as a family favorite!
