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.

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.
