Steps:
- Boil 1/2" of water in pan. Add chicken, cover, and steam 12-15 minutes.
- Drain chicken and shred it with 2 forks on a cutting board.
- Meanwhile heat oil in frying pan. Saute onions and garlic about 6 minutes, until translucent.
- Stir in shredded chicken, tomatoes, and peanut butter. Heat 5 minutes.
- Serve over white rice.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling during the cooking process.
- Choose the Right Peanut Butter: Use a creamy, natural peanut butter for the best flavor and texture. Avoid using chunky or low-fat peanut butter, as they will not yield the same results.
- Toast the Peanuts: Toasting the peanuts adds a nutty flavor and aroma to the dish. You can toast them in a pan over medium heat or in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.
- Use Fresh Ginger and Garlic: Fresh ginger and garlic add a lot of flavor to the dish, so make sure to use them if you have them. If you don't have fresh ginger or garlic, you can use ground ginger or garlic powder, but the flavor will be less intense.
- Simmer the Sauce: Simmering the sauce allows the flavors to meld together and develop. Be sure to simmer it for at least 15 minutes, or longer if you have the time.
- Serve with Rice or Noodles: Peanut chicken is traditionally served with rice or noodles. You can use any type of rice or noodles you like, but jasmine rice or egg noodles are popular choices.
