(I made this and ommitted the pnut butter chips and the peanuts. Adding extra chocolate chips and walnuts. Plus I doubled the recipe for the size of crockpot i used. It was a hit! Everyone loved it!)

mussaman curry

1 can coconut milk
fish sauce
2 - 3 chicken breasts, thinly sliced
1 or 2 potatoes
sugar
roasted cashews
Mussaman curry paste

Peel and cube potatoes. Put them in a pot to boil. It should take
about 15 mins for them to cook. Start cooking rice. Meanwhile, Shake
coconut milk. Add almost 1/2 the can of coconut milk to a saute pan
or wok. Add curry paste (2 TB = spicy, 1 1/4 TB = mild, we used 1 1/2
TB) Slice chicken and salt well. Heat milk/paste to high and when
it's bubbling add the sliced chicken. Then add 2 tsp fish sauce, 2
tsp sugar and cook for 5 mins. Potatoes should be about done. Drain
the potatoes. Give the chicken 5 more mins or so, until it's cooked
all the way through. Add potatoes, rest of coconut milk. Add cashews
and 1 tsp fish sauce, 2 tsp sugar. Cook a few more minutes. It
should be nice and soupy and the chicken done. Serve over rice.
