Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a blender or mixing bowl, combine the chicken broth, lite coconut milk, honey, natural peanut butter, sriracha, coconut aminos, fish sauce, minced garlic, and fresh cilantro. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. Set your slow cooker to low heat. Spread the chopped jalapeños, yellow onion, and red bell pepper evenly at the bottom of the crockpot.
  3. Place the chicken breasts on top of the prepped vegetables in the crockpot. Carefully pour the prepared sauce over the chicken.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4-6 hours. The chicken is ready when it easily shreds apart.
  5. Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks, mixing it with the vegetables and sauce. Serve in crisp butter lettuce cups.

For richer flavor, marinate the chicken and veggies in the sauce overnight. Keep leftover shredded chicken separate from lettuce for freshness.
