This is a very tasty Asian-inspired dish made with chicken and broccoli in a spicy peanut sauce. If you like it mild, use less cayenne, like it spicy, use more. If you're salt conscious, use low sodium soy sauce.

THAI PEANUT CHICKEN



Thai Peanut Chicken image

By Mark Bittman. For the curry powder, it should be a mild, fragrant one versus one that's hot; for example, recipe #503859. Serve with jasmine rice and nam pla.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2-2 lbs chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks (boneless and skinless)
2 garlic cloves, minced
one 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced
1 tablespoon curry powder, preferably homemade
2 tablespoons neutral oil
1 small onion, sliced
1/3 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon nam pla
1/2 cup coconut milk

Steps:

  • Put chicken, garlic, ginger and curry powder in a large bowl and toss well to coat. Marinate while you prepare everything else.
  • Put oil in a large, nonstick skillet/wok; turn heat to medium. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Raise heat to medium-high and add chicken. Cook, stirring occasionally until the chicken loses its raw look and begins to brown, about 5 minutes. (Additional cooking is coming when its in the sauce.).
  • Stir in peanuts, sugar, nam pla and coconut milk. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened and chicken is tender, 5 - 10 minutes. Serve immediately.
  • NOTE: You can also use 1/2 head of broccoli and 6 scallions (2-inch lengths) in this also. Just parboil them first for about 3 minutes or until barely tender before adding to pan along with chicken. Obviously, you'd drain the vegetables first. You'd also need to increase the coconut milk to 3/4 cup total.
