- Pour in 1/2 of the coconut milk. Stir until vegetables and chicken are evenly coated. Add peanut butter and curry powder and mix thoroughly. Cook over medium heat until the sauce thickens, stirring often to keep the sauce from burning to the bottom of the pan, 10 to 15 minutes.

FRIED PEANUT-CRUSTED CHICKEN SANDWICHES
This recipe may seem to have many components, but let me tell you: it's so worth it! The crunchy peanut-coated chicken gets a hint of spiciness from the hot pepper jelly. Paired with a tangy, cool vegetable salad to tame the heat, it's a match made in heaven.

Steps:
- For the buttermilk marinade: Stir together the buttermilk, soy sauce, ginger and garlic powder in a bowl. Pound the chicken to an equal thickness (no thicker than 1 inch; this helps it cook evenly.) Place the chicken in a zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, and turn to coat. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
- Make the pickled carrot-cucumber salad: Stir together the sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the carrots, cucumbers, radishes and green onions, and toss to coat. Refrigerate until ready to serve. (The flavors will improve with standing time.)
- For the peanut-crusted chicken: Pour enough oil into a Dutch oven to reach 3 inches up the sides. Heat the oil to 325 degrees F.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Stir together the flour, garlic powder and ginger in a shallow dish. Lightly beat the eggs in a separate shallow dish. Combine the panko and peanuts in a third shallow dish. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Dip the chicken in the egg, then in the panko mixture, pressing to adhere.
- Fry the chicken in 2 batches, turning occasionally, until browned and crispy and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to drain. Drizzle with the pepper jelly.
- To serve, spread the peanut sauce on the buns. Place a piece of chicken on each bun bottom. Top with the pickled carrot-cucumber salad, cilantro and bun tops. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler.
- For the satay sauce: Whisk the peanut butter, coconut milk, lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar and crushed red pepper together in a small bowl. Set aside.
- For the sandwiches: Combine the peanut butter, chili powder, cumin, crushed red pepper and salt in a small bowl. Stir well.
- On a nonstick baking sheet, lay out 4 slices of the brioche and spread with the spicy peanut butter. Top each slice with about 3 slices of the cheese. Broil until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes.
- Close the sandwiches with the remaining brioche and broil again until the top slices are toasted, about 1 minute--watch closely, as broilers vary. Flip the sandwiches on the baking sheet and broil one more time until the top slices are toasted, about 1 minute. Cut the sandwiches into triangles, drizzle with the satay sauce and serve.
Tips:
- To ensure the peanut butter chicken is cooked thoroughly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
- For a crispier chicken, pan-fry it over medium heat until golden brown on both sides.
- To make the sandwich more flavorful, use a variety of fresh herbs, such as basil, cilantro, or mint.
- If you don't have any hoisin sauce, you can substitute it with a mixture of soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar.
- To save time, you can use pre-cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken.
Conclusion:
The peanut butter chicken and basil sandwich is a delicious and easy-to-make lunch or dinner option. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give this sandwich a try.
