Slow Cooker Kung Pao Chicken!

Slow Cooker Kung Pao Chicken is a delicious Chinese favorite that is packed with juicy fall apart chicken, spicy sauce and vegetables, that is sure to be a huge hit!

No need to go out to your favorite chinese restaurant to get this wonderful favorite anymore! You can make it right at home!

Kung Pao chicken is also called Kung Po, it is a spicy, stir-fried Chinese dish made with chicken, peanuts, vegetables, and chili peppers. The classic Chinese dish everyone adores!

If you’re like me, you love anything spicy and this meal fits the bill! Just enough spicy kick for a bit of heat, but not too much that its not enjoyable 🙂

This easy slow cooker meal is not only scrumptious but also pretty healthy and much better than any takeout you can get anywhere!

The flavor is outstanding and this is sure to be a recipe you will come back to time and time again!

One of the best things about this recipe is that the chicken is ultra juicy and fall apart tender as well as the sauce being the ultimate best you’ve ever tried!

The ‘heat’ in this dish comes from the red chilies and if you want less heat, use less or you can just omit them all together 🙂

I will be bringing you all some more highly requested chinese/japanese recipes that are favorites among takeout fanatics (like i used to be before I started making my favorites right at home!)
