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...

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

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.

THAI SPICY STIR FRY CHICKEN



Thai Spicy Stir Fry Chicken image

Make this as spicey as you want or as mild. This is one Thai recipe without peanuts it is from the figment of my imagination, tweaked twice. This is the type of recipe you may change ingredients at will , use up left overs etc etc. Have fun with it. I like to serve it over Chow Mein Fried Noodles. Add fresh Jalapeneo peppers too if you like. There are many Hot/sweet Thai Chili sauces but I like UFC brand. If you like your veggies well cooked steam the carrots until tender before adding to the pan.. I like mine crunchie so I use them raw.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb chicken breast, Skinless & Boneless
1/4 cup red pepper, Chopped 1/2-inch dice
1/4 cup green pepper, chopped 1/2-inch dice
12 baby carrots, cut to 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1/4 cup green onion, Chopped
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar or 2 tablespoons brown sugar substitute
5 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons chicken stock
5 tablespoons sweet hot chili sauce (more or less it up to you)
cilantro (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Cut the chicken into bite size pieces.
  • Stir Fry the cut chicken until browned (apprx 5 minutes).
  • Add peppers, mushrooms & carrots, stir fry for 5 minutes more over medium high heat.
  • Add green onions cook 1 minute.
  • Mix together remaining ingredients (except Cilantro garnish), pour over chicken simmer 5 minutes .
  • Meanwhile cook your Noodles or rice or whatever you are serving it with.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your stir-fry will taste. If possible, use organic vegetables and free-range chicken.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When stir-frying, it's important to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the vegetables from cooking evenly and will make them soggy.
  • Use a Wok or Large Skillet: A wok or large skillet is the best cookware for stir-frying. This will give you plenty of room to toss and stir the ingredients.
  • Use High Heat: Stir-fries are cooked over high heat. This helps to quickly cook the vegetables and chicken without overcooking them.
  • Stir Constantly: Stirring the ingredients constantly will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan and will also help to evenly distribute the heat.
  • Add Sauce at the End: Add the sauce to the stir-fry at the very end of the cooking process. This will help to prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Serve Immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to preserve the flavors and textures of the dish.

Conclusion:

Spicy Asian chicken stir-fry is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner.
