Ingredients:
1 lime
3 chicken breasts cooked as described below, and cubed.
5 tablespoons canola oil or peanut oil
7 meaty tomatoes, cut into quarters, seeded, and drained if necessary.
1 tablespoon of your favorite curry powder. (Use the mildest that you can get if you don't know the everlasting truth about real curry mix.)
1/4 tablespoon cayenne powder (paprika is optional)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper, white is best
2 cloves minced garlic
3 tablespoons finely chopped peanuts
2 cans or one box chicken broth
2 cups water
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
two tablespoons fresh, chopped cilantro leaves

You can cook the chicken, then remove the meat and cut into cubes. Or you can brown the whole breasts and toss into the crock pot).
Sweat the onion and garlic and add to the pot
Combine all of the other ingredients in a soup pot, and simmer gently for as long as you like. This is a great dish for the crock pot.
