Bland isn't the word for it. So what I did was added extra crunch peanut butter, more honey & maple syrup while it was cooking. Results were fabulous. You do not need chicken broth at all. Make a savory vegetable with it like sautéed spinach or broccoli in garlic & olive oil.

My wife loved this dish and it was so easy to make. To give this a more Thai flavor I would substitute a can of coconut milk for the chicken stock and add 1/2 -1 tsp of Thai curry paste ( I use Thai Kitchens Red Curry). Garnish with chopped peanuts and scallions

I enjoyed this recipe! My measurements might have been a little off because I only made four servings, but the finished dish was tasty. I used the suggested chicken broth and thickened the sauce at the end with some flour. Tastes great over rice and makes the house smell wonderful! I'll be making this one again.

this recipe was ok. i actually used more peanut butter (about 1 cup) and all the optional ingredients. i had to thicken the sauce with a little flour and ended up adding a little more of the orange juice, soy sauce, and honey to bring more flavor out. it still ended up kinda bland though.

I'm sorry but this came out awful. I put in all the ingredients, including the broth, but when I checked on it at 5.5 hours it was already burning! Unheard of for crockpot recipes. I added extra water (1.5 cups) and let it cook a bit longer. When it was finally done I put it over rice and veggies and we just didn't care for it at all. It was way too salty (broth + soy sauce?) and it didn't have a peanut flavor at all. I think the soy sauce really overpowered it. Sorry, I really wanted to like this!
