Transfer purée to a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker. Stir in coconut milk.
Heat oil in a sauté pan. Brown chicken pieces on all sides, half at a time, in hot oil. Add chicken pieces to slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low-heat setting about 3 hours or on high-heat setting for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Stir in sweet pepper. Cover and cook on high heat setting 15 minutes more.
Serve chicken and sauce on rice; sprinkle basil and peanuts over each serving.
To make the green curry sauce, purée Thai seasonings with fish sauce in a food processor.
