Slow Cooker Chicken Satay

I recently watched a movie on TV, Yours, Mine and Ours, that featured a story of two families that combined to form a 19 member one by marriage.  In one scene the parents were in a hurry to go to a party and the mom granted permission to one of the older children to have friends over. Well the parents did not know it was going to be a wild huge party. The younger kids of the bunch stayed in a room with huge bins of popcorn, chocolate  candies and other goodies provided by the older siblings to keep them away from the party. At the end of the party, one of the younger kids is shown near comatose saying dreamily the word chocolate.

I do have problems sometimes figuring what to give my grandchildren to eat when they visit. They can be very picky and unpredictable at times. I am sometimes tempted to just give them chocolate which I am sure they will eat. One weekend, to my surprise they ate a dish for dinner that I served them with gusto. It was chicken satay. Could it be the peanut butter in the dish? Or they were just hungry from playing in the sandbox? Who knows but this chicken recipe is a keeper. Easy and delicious. And you know already it is kid friendly.
