Time 2h30m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 39

1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup chicken stock
3 ounces unsweetened coconut milk
1 lime, freshly squeezed
1-ounce soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon hot sauce (recommended: Salsita Habanero Chiles)
1 scallion
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon chopped ginger
1/2 cup white rice vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon honey
3 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, including black seeds
2 teaspoons pressed fresh ginger
1 tablespoon orange zest
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
2 tablespoons cornmeal
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
1 tablespoon orange zest
3 tablespoons sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon pressed fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon pressed fresh garlic
1 pound chicken breasts
1 tablespoon canola oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 red pepper, seeded and sliced into thin strips
1 avocado, cut into bite-size pieces
Cilantro leaves

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.
  • Preheat the grill to medium and grill each side of the pineapple until they have deep brown grill marks. Remove and slice into desired bite-size pieces. Set aside.
  • 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.
  • Using a stand mixer, add the flours, salt, cornmeal, sesame seeds, and orange zest, and mix with dough hook. Add the yeasted water and mix for 30 seconds. Add the sesame oil, ginger and garlic. If the dough is too dry, add drops of water until it becomes moist. Place dough in oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes.
  • When ready to roll out, cut the dough into 2 pieces and roll out each piece to desired thickness.
  • This will give you 2 individual pizzas or you can choose to do one. Put the dough on a preheated pizza stone, if using an oven or a mesh grilling tray, if using a grill. Depending on the thickness of the crust, it will take approximately 10 minutes for thin pizza and 15 to 20 minutes for thicker pizza.
  • Chicken:
  • Preheat the grill to medium.
  • Cut each chicken breast in half to make thinner cutlets. Season with oil, and salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Grill for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove from the grill to a cutting board and cut into bite-size pieces, either long strips or chunks. Cover loosely with foil. Set aside.
  • Assembly:
  • Arrange the grilled chicken, grilled pineapple, red pepper, avocado, cilantro on top of the dough. Drizzle with Peanut sauce, slice and serve.

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.

Fried Peanut-Crusted Chicken Sandwiches image

This recipe may seem to have many components, but let me tell you: it's so worth it! The crunchy peanut-coated chicken gets a hint of spiciness from the hot pepper jelly. Paired with a tangy, cool vegetable salad to tame the heat, it's a match made in heaven.

Provided by Kardea Brown

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

1/2 cup whole buttermilk
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Two 8-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in half crosswise
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 cup julienned carrots
1 cup julienned cucumbers
1 cup thinly sliced radishes
2 green onions, sliced
Peanut oil, for frying
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 cup finely crushed salted dry-roasted peanuts
1/4 cup red pepper jelly, heated until it melts
1/2 cup store-bought peanut sauce (such as Thai peanut sauce)
4 brioche buns, split
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • For the buttermilk marinade: Stir together the buttermilk, soy sauce, ginger and garlic powder in a bowl. Pound the chicken to an equal thickness (no thicker than 1 inch; this helps it cook evenly.) Place the chicken in a zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, and turn to coat. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
  • Make the pickled carrot-cucumber salad: Stir together the sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the carrots, cucumbers, radishes and green onions, and toss to coat. Refrigerate until ready to serve. (The flavors will improve with standing time.)
  • For the peanut-crusted chicken: Pour enough oil into a Dutch oven to reach 3 inches up the sides. Heat the oil to 325 degrees F.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Stir together the flour, garlic powder and ginger in a shallow dish. Lightly beat the eggs in a separate shallow dish. Combine the panko and peanuts in a third shallow dish. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Dip the chicken in the egg, then in the panko mixture, pressing to adhere.
  • Fry the chicken in 2 batches, turning occasionally, until browned and crispy and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to drain. Drizzle with the pepper jelly.
  • To serve, spread the peanut sauce on the buns. Place a piece of chicken on each bun bottom. Top with the pickled carrot-cucumber salad, cilantro and bun tops. Serve immediately.

  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check if the chicken is cooked by cutting into it. The chicken should be cooked through when the juices run clear.
  • If you don't have peanut butter, you can substitute another type of nut butter, such as almond butter or cashew butter.
  • You can also add other vegetables to this dish, such as broccoli, carrots, or bell peppers.
  • To make the dish more spicy, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the peanut sauce.
  • If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) to the sauce and cook it over low heat until it thickens.
