CHICKEN STIR-FRY WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE



Chicken Stir-Fry With Spicy Peanut Sauce image

If you like spicy peanut sauce, you'll like this dish. The sauce is smooth and creamy with a bit of kick. When stir-frying, I like to marinate the meat to add a bit more depth of flavor. I used chicken for this recipe but am sure it would also go well with pork or shrimp (of course taking into account varying cooking times of different meats).

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons vinegar, distilled
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil

1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

Steps:

  • Thoroughly whisk together ingredients for marinade (except olive oil) and marinate sliced chicken for 30 minutes at room temperature or 1-2 hours refrigerated.
  • While chicken is marinating, thoroughly whisk together ingredients for sauce in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Heat 1 tbs. oil in wok (or large skillet) at medium-high heat. Drain chicken and cook for 10 minutes or until no longer pink. Set cooked chicken aside, covered.

  • Return cooked chicken to pan and toss with vegetables.

CHICKEN STIR-FRY WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE



Chicken Stir-Fry with Spicy Peanut Sauce image

"How do I make chicken interesting?" is a question people often ask me. Here's your answer. I love making a double batch of this sauce and keeping it in the door of the fridge for a day when I need something tasty in a pinch. Don't like spice? Simply omit the hot sauce and the red pepper flakes. You can also sub thinly sliced lean beef for the chicken or just make it a stir-fry with all vegetables...

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 knob ginger, grated (to equal about 1 tablespoon)
5 large cloves garlic, grated
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/4-inch-thick strips
Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons canola oil
12 to 15 small red radishes, quartered, plus 1 loose cup radish greens, coarsely chopped
1 large red bell pepper, cored, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch-thick strips
1 cup frozen peas
Zest and juice from 1 small lime

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk the peanut butter with the soy sauce, vinegar, honey, hot sauce, sesame oil, ginger, two-thirds of the garlic and 2 tablespoons warm water until smooth. (If the sauce is too thick, thin with a little more warm water.) Set aside.
  • Arrange the pieces of chicken on a baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle on one side with salt and the red pepper flakes. Turn the pieces on their other side and sprinkle again with salt.
  • Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Add half of the oil and heat until it begins to smoke. Remove the skillet from the heat and quickly add half of the chicken pieces in a single layer. Return the pan to high heat and cook, stirring from time to time, until the chicken is fully cooked, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and repeat with the remaining oil and chicken.
  • In the same skillet, stir in the remaining garlic, radishes, radish greens and peppers and season with salt. Mix so the radish greens wilt. Stir in the peanut sauce and simmer for an additional minute. Taste for seasoning. Stir in the peas and the chicken. Turn off the heat and let rest a couple of minutes on the stove. Top with a few grates of lime zest and the juice.

SPICY CHICKEN STIR-FRY



Spicy Chicken Stir-Fry image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons canola oil
1 pound store-bought peeled and chopped butternut squash
One 10-ounce bag frozen fire-roasted mixed peppers, thawed
2 cubes frozen minced ginger, such as Dorot, or 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
2 cups frozen shelled edamame, thawed
1/4 cup peanut satay sauce, such as Thai Kitchen
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sriracha
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup chopped peanuts
4 cups cooked white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons of the canola oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon canola oil to the wok. Add the butternut squash and cook until it starts to caramelize on the edges and becomes slightly tender, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the peppers and cook until heated through. Add the ginger and cook for another minute. Add the edamame, peanut satay sauce, soy sauce, sriracha and lime juice. Return the chicken to the wok and cook until everything is heated through, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Transfer to a platter and garnish with the cilantro and peanuts. Serve with white rice.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your stir-fry is cooked evenly.
  • Use a hot wok or large skillet: This will help to sear the chicken and vegetables quickly, preventing them from becoming soggy.
  • Don't overcrowd the wok or skillet: If you do, the ingredients will not cook evenly. Cook the chicken and vegetables in batches if necessary.
  • Stir-fry constantly: This will help to prevent the ingredients from sticking to the wok or skillet and ensure that they are cooked evenly.
  • Add the sauce last: This will help to prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

This chicken stir-fry with spicy peanut sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy weeknight meal. The peanut sauce is creamy and flavorful, and the chicken and vegetables are cooked to perfection. With a little planning and preparation, you can have this stir-fry on the table in no time.
