Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Chicken and rice:
6 small skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (about 3 lb.)
¾ tsp. kosher salt, plus more
2 large shallots, finely chopped
8 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 (2") piece ginger, peeled, finely chopped
2 cups high-quality basmati rice, rinsed
2 whole star anise
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
Sauce and assembly:
½ cup creamy peanut butter
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 Tbsp. unseasoned rice vinegar
5 tsp. Sriracha
1 (1") piece ginger, peeled, finely chopped
1½ tsp. honey
1 English hothouse cucumber, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced on a diagonal
1 cup cilantro leaves with tender stems

Steps:

  • Chicken and rice:
  • Pat chicken dry and season all over with salt. Arrange, skin side down, in a cold, dry medium Dutch oven and set over medium heat. Cook, undisturbed, until skin is golden brown and crisp and easily releases from pot, 8-10 minutes. Slide thighs around to different spots (this will ensure even browning) and continue to cook until deeply browned, 3-5 minutes longer. Transfer chicken to a plate. Let pot cool 2 minutes.
  • Set pot over medium-low heat; add shallots, garlic, and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, until very fragrant but not browned, about 2 minutes. Stir in rice and star anise and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Stir in soy sauce, ¾ tsp. salt, and 3 cups water. Nestle chicken back into rice mixture in pot, arranging skin side up. Increase heat to medium and bring liquid to a simmer. Immediately cover pot, reduce heat to low, and cook 25 minutes. Remove from heat and let chicken and rice sit 10 minutes.
  • Sauce and assembly:
  • While the chicken and rice are cooking, make the sauce. Whisk peanut butter, soy sauce, vinegar, Sriracha, ginger, honey, and ¼ cup warm water in a small bowl until smooth and pourable. If sauce still looks a little thick, continuing adding water until it reaches a drizzle-able consistency.
  • Remove lid from pot and fluff rice with a fork. Pluck out and discard star anise. Serve chicken and rice with peanut sauce, cucumber, and cilantro alongside.
  • Do Ahead: Sauce can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.

PEANUT (OR PEANUT BUTTER) GINGER CHICKEN



Peanut (Or Peanut Butter) Ginger Chicken image

Delicious flavorful chicken dish that is as fast and easy to make as it is tasty! All amounts are approximate and can be tweaked to suit your tastes, I typically make a little more of the sauce. This recipe is originally from Jaylene at Nibbledish.com, I've changed the amounts to what I use for a family of 4.

Provided by JayDubs

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2-2 lbs chicken breasts
4 tablespoons peanut butter (Creamy or Chunky)
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons white vinegar
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus some (for cooking)
3 -4 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons ginger
salt and pepper
water (optional)
parsley flakes (optional) or fresh parsley (optional)
sesame seeds (optional)

Steps:

  • In a bowl, prepare the peanut butter sauce. Add the peanut butter, soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar and 2 Tbs. olive oil together and stir until you form a smooth paste.
  • Dice garlic and ginger as fine as you can get them, I use a grater with small holes and grate my garlic so that there are no large chunks for those that don't care to bite into a large piece of garlic.
  • Cube your chicken into small bite sized pieces or cut into small strips if you prefer.
  • In a pan, heat up some olive oil (I usually use about 2 Tbs.) add the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds depending on how hot you got the olive oil. Then add the chicken, season to your taste with salt and pepper, and cook until completely cooked through.
  • Add the sauce mixture and stir to coat all of the chicken. Reduce heat to a medium low and cook for an additional 5 to 10 minutes stirring frequently. If the sauce starts to become too think or clumps together add small amounts of water and stir to keep a nice consistency. The sauce should coat the chicken without being soupy.
  • Remove the pan from heat and serve the chicken over rice. Garnish with parsley or sesame seeds if you wish.

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...

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.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger. If you can, use fresh ginger for the best results.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a delicate meat that can easily become dry and tough if it is overcooked. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The peanut sauce should be thick enough to coat the chicken and vegetables. If the sauce is too thin, it will not have as much flavor.
  • Serve with rice: Ginger chicken with peanut sauce is traditionally served with rice. Rice is a good way to soak up the sauce and all of its flavors.

Conclusion:

Ginger chicken with peanut sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, the sauce is flavorful and creamy, and the vegetables are crisp and colorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
