Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into small pieces
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
12 ounces green beans, trimmed and halved
1 pound dried linguine
1/2 cup canned coconut milk
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon hot chile oil
Juice of 1 lime plus 1 lime cut into wedges
2 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 cup salted roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems, chopped

Steps:

  • Add the vegetable oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper and add to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and mostly cooked through, about 8 minutes.
  • Add the green beans and saute until slightly brown but still bright green, about 2 more minutes.
  • Cook the pasta to al dente according to the directions on the package.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce. Whisk together the coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, sugar, chile oil, lime juice and 1/3 cup water in a medium bowl or large measuring cup (the peanut butter will not fully incorporate). Set aside.
  • Add the ginger and garlic to the skillet with the chicken and beans. Cook until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the curry powder and stir until toasted, about 20 seconds.
  • Pour the coconut milk mixture into the skillet, making sure to get all of the peanut butter out of the bowl. Scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the skillet and cook until the sauce boils and thickens slightly, about 4 minutes.
  • Drain the pasta and pour into the skillet, then carefully toss to coat. Gently tip the pasta onto a serving platter. Garnish with peanuts, cilantro and lime wedges.

Recipe #37244 is what I used but use whatever peanut sauce that fits your taste buds. I do know that a good quality peanut sauce can make or break this recipe. Nice simple meal to put on the table even during a busy week.

1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons sambal oelek
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce

Toss to coat, adding more cooking water as needed. Stir in all but 2 tablespoons scallions. Season with salt.

PEANUT BUTTER CHICKEN PASTA



Peanut Butter Chicken Pasta image

My family's favorite. Always a big hit,. Similar to other recipes listed, however we never add vinegar. Looks great on a platter and we have served it lots of times for guests. The original recipe called for this dish to be served cold as a pasta salad. However, I love it hot right off the stove, or heated as leftovers.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 50m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon peanut oil
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1 lb skinless chicken breast, cut in strips
1/3 cup peanut butter
1 can low sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1 -2 tablespoon kung pao sauce
1 -2 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon black bean garlic sauce
1 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce or 1 teaspoon chili sauce
1 -2 drop fish sauce, very hot
1 package fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/4-1/2 lb snow peas, cut in half
1/2 can sliced water chestnuts
1 lb cooked linguine, break in half when cooking

Steps:

  • Heat Peanut Oil, and Sesame Oil in a wok.
  • Add Garlic and Ginger, quickly saute.
  • Stir Fry Chicken Strips until slightly browned.
  • Add Peanut Butter to Wok, stir Chicken Broth and Soy Sauce into Peanut Butter to dilute.
  • Add Kung Pao Sauce, Hoisin Sauce, Garlic Black Bean Sauce, Chili Garlic Sauce, Fish Sauce (see note below) Add Mushrooms, Snowpeas and Water Chestnuts.
  • Cook on medium heat about 5 min.
  • Serve over Linguine.
  • Note: We like this dish really spicy and add more of these sauces at the table after serving the kids.
  • The original recipe just called for Kung Pao Sauce and Sezchwan Sauce--I can never find Sezchwan Sauce and have to stockpile Kung Pao Sauce, so we rely on all of the sauces.
  • Of course, the dish is slightly different each time we make it.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 253.4, Fat 6.6, SaturatedFat 1.3, Cholesterol 22, Sodium 261.1, Carbohydrate 32, Fiber 2, Sugar 2.2, Protein 16.2

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are both good choices for this recipe. If you're using chicken breasts, be sure to slice them thinly so that they cook evenly.
  • Use a flavorful peanut sauce: The peanut sauce is the star of this dish, so be sure to make it flavorful. Use a good quality peanut butter and add some fresh ginger, garlic, and lime juice.
  • Cook the chicken until it's cooked through: The chicken should be cooked until it's no longer pink in the center. You can check this by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Add the vegetables at the end: The vegetables should be added to the pasta at the end of the cooking process so that they don't overcook. This will help them retain their鮮豔 color and crisp texture.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it's made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Chicken pasta in peanut sauce is a quick and easy dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The combination of flavors in this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new way to cook chicken, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
