CHEF JOHN'S PEANUT CURRY CHICKEN



Chef John's Peanut Curry Chicken image

I decided to not follow any specific recipe from any particular country or culture, but instead I made a simple composite of every peanut curry I've ever come across. I didn't use coconut milk, as I feel that's a little too sweet and rich for the peanut butter. I loved how this came out, and I can't imagine it being any richer.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
3 ½ cups chicken broth, or to taste
¾ cup unsweetened natural peanut butter
½ cup ketchup
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
1 pound zucchini, cut into chunks
1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
1 green poblano pepper, diced
2 cups hot cooked rice
1 lime, for garnish
½ cup roasted peanuts, plus more for garnish
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • Mix salt, coriander, cumin, turmeric, paprika, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl.
  • Place chicken pieces in a separate bowl and add 1/2 of the spice blend. Mix together thoroughly to coat each surface with spice blend.
  • Heat oil over high heat in a heavy pot. Brown half of the chicken pieces on all sides. Transfer to a bowl. Repeat with the rest of the chicken.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add onion to pot. Saute until onions start to turn translucent and golden, 1 or 2 minutes. Add garlic and ginger; cook about 1 minute. Stir in remaining spice blend; cook and stir one minute. Pour in chicken broth. Add browned chicken along with accumulated juices. Stir in peanut butter and ketchup; add brown sugar. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat to maintain a gentle, steady simmer. Simmer, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
  • Transfer zucchini, red bell pepper, poblano pepper, and peanuts to the pot. Stir to mix. Continue simmering until chicken and vegetables are fork tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Serve over rice with a squeeze of lime and a sprinkle of peanuts and chopped cilantro.

3 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
4 cloves garlic, minced
30 leaves Thai basil, thinly sliced
1 medium onion, diced
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
½ tablespoon chile powder
1 (8 ounce) package mushrooms, diced

  • Add chicken to the pan with remaining sesame oil and season with chile powder. Add mushrooms and bamboo shoots. Cook until the chicken is only slightly pink in the center and the mushrooms have started to lose their moisture, 4 to 5 minutes. Add curry paste and mix well.
  • 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.
  • Reduce heat to low and add remaining coconut milk and brown sugar. Continue to simmer over low heat until desired consistency is reached, 10 to 15 minutes more, tasting and adding more peanut butter if needed.

Curry Chicken with Coconut and Peanuts image

When I was in college, I worked in an Asian restaurant. My boss made the best curry I have ever tasted, and after much prodding and bothering the poor man, he finally fessed up! I have worked for years to get the recipe right, and I think this is it! I hope you like it as much as I do.
