Thai Peanut Chicken image

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.

ASIAN PEANUT CRUSTED CHICKEN



Asian Peanut Crusted Chicken image

I found this recipe on another site (Mommy, What's For Dinner.) I pair this with the Spicy Thai Pasta and it makes for a great dinner and conveniently they both have similar ingredients! I am a vegetarian so cooking meat is not first nature to me. Every time I make this chicken dish it turns out juicy and amazing according to my carnivore family and friends. If I can do it...you know you can :) Tips and Tricks You can use dried ginger in pinch and you can also substitute another type of vinegar if you don't have rice vinegar.

Pinch Hawaiian red salt
Pinch red pepper flakes
10 large mint leaves, chopped
1 pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into round slices
1 packet dry yeast
3/4 cup warm water
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Peanut sauce:
  • Combine all the ingredients in food processor and mix until well blended. Set aside.
  • Marinade:
  • Mix all the ingredients, except the pineapple, together in a bowl, then add the pineapple slices. Let sit for a minimum of 30 minutes. This can also be made a day ahead and refrigerated.

  • Dough:
  • Preheat the grill and the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Mix the yeast, water and sugar together in a small bowl until the yeast dissolves into a smooth, beige color. Let stand for 5 minutes.

STIR-FRIED CHICKEN WITH PEANUTS



Stir-Fried Chicken with Peanuts image

Serve this home-style version of kung pao chicken and peanuts with a side of steamed white rice.
