CREAMY PEANUT CHICKEN

I was given this by one of our company's interstate sales managers, and I think it's great! Much lower in calories than other peanut chickens I've seen, and the spiciness of the curry paste perfectly balances out the sweetness of the peanut butter. Mild enough for kids to enjoy, plenty of flavour for the adults! Hope you try this and enjoy!

  • Use a large skillet: To prevent overcrowding and ensure the chicken cooks evenly, use a large skillet or wok. This allows for better heat distribution and prevents the chicken from steaming.
  • Simmer the sauce: After combining all the sauce ingredients, let it simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld and thicken. This enhances the sauce's richness and consistency.
