Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

4 dried Chinese black mushrooms
1 pound boneless chicken breast or thighs
5 candle nuts soaked in water for 10 minutes, or skinless almonds
5 stalks fresh lemon grass, trimmed and sliced
4 shallots (walnut-size) or 1 medium onion, peeled and sliced
6 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
5 red Serrano chilies, trimmed
Roots and stems from 1/2 bunch fresh coriander
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
4 tablespoons corn oil
1/4 cup cooked carrots, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 13 1/2-ounce can unsweetened coconut milk, shaken well
1/2 onion, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1/4 cup peas
1/2 cup bamboo-shoot strips, blanched in boiling water
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
Juice of 1 lemon
1/3 cup fresh basil leaves
1 fresh red jalapeno chili, sliced lengthwise

Steps:

  • Cover the mushrooms with water, and soak for 30 minutes. Cut off and discard the stems, slice the caps and set aside.
  • Remove the skin from the chicken. Cut the meat into 1/2-inch strips and set aside.
  • To prepare the rempeh, or base for the sauce, use a food processor to grind the candle nuts or almonds, lemon grass, shallots, garlic, chilies, coriander and turmeric to a smooth paste. Add a tablespoon or more of water if needed to blend. Heat the oil in a wok or a saucepan over medium heat. Add the ground mixture, and fry, stirring frequently, until the rem peh is fragrant and has a light orange color and a porridge-like consistency, about 8 minutes. It is ready when oil seeps out.
  • Increase the heat to medium-high. Toss in the chicken, carrots and coconut milk. Stir continuously until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce to a lively simmer, and add the mushrooms, onion, peas, bamboo shoots, sugar, salt and lemon juice. Cook for 1 minute, or until the chicken feels firm to the touch. Add the basil, and cook until it wilts. Garnish with the jalapeno slices. Serve hot with rice.

SPICY BAKED CHICKEN TENDERS WITH A GARLIC BASIL AIOLI



Spicy Baked Chicken Tenders With a Garlic Basil Aioli image

Now, I think everyone likes chicken fingers or tenders, but I get tired of those made the traditional way with the seasoned bread crumbs, parmesan cheese and a marinara sauce for dipping. So, I tried to come up with something a bit spicy and a unique dipping sauce for a unique taste. This is my version. Spicy seasoning, and the panko makes it a bit lighter. Baked vs fried and then the aioli is to me what sets this apart. Since this is finger food, I love to serve this with fresh corn on the cob, and my salad cups. Basically a small chopped salad served in a small lettuce cup. This just makes it a great easy "finger food" dinner.

Categories     Chicken

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts (boneless skinless, you can use tenders as well)
1 teaspoon smoked paprika (smoked is important in this dish)
2 teaspoons dried basil
1/2 teaspoon cayenne (more if you like things a bit spicier)
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs (ground fine)
2 eggs
1/2 cup flour
cooking spray
3/4 cup mayonnaise
2 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped fine (you can use a bit more basil if you want, I often use a bit more, according to your taste)
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Aioli -- Mix the mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, garlic, basil, salt and pepper. Check for seasoning and cover and refrigerate.
  • Chicken -- I like to cut the chicken into finger size pieces. I don't like them too thin as they will dry out, but because they are baked I like to cut them around 1/2" thick (I like to think they are about the size and thickness of my thumb).
  • Chicken Flour Base -- In a large baggie add the flour, salt and pepper. Dredge each chicken piece in the flour mixture and then toss well to coat. Make sure to shake off the excess flour. Just set to the side until they are all coated.
  • Panko and Egg -- I like to grind up the panko a bit to make the crumbs a bit finer. I just used my mini food processor to grind them up. Then to the panko, I added all the seasonings (except the salt and pepper) which we already used in the flour mix. Then add the panko to a small pan. In another pan, add the eggs and beat well.
  • Dredge -- Now dip each piece of chicken, already dredged in flour into the egg and then the panko seasoning. Set on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or you can use foil.
  • Bake -- Spray the chicken with olive oil (both sides). Now I have an atomizer which I fill with olive oil. But you can buy a olive oil spray like "Pam." right at the store. But I use my atomizer all the time and well worth the 10.00 investment. Those recipes that cause for a drizzle of olive oil -- using an atomizer will save you tons of money. Well, time to bake. I bake at 400 for about 12-15 minutes depending on the thickness of the chicken. They should be golden brown.
  • Serve -- Just serve the chicken strips with the Basil Aioli.
