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.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon baking soda
¼ cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
2 tablespoons honey

1 (8 ounce) package sugar snap peas
3 stalks scallions, chopped

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your stir-fry will taste. Look for vegetables that are crisp and brightly colored, and chicken that is free-range and organic.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of stir-fry. Cook the vegetables in batches if necessary.
  • Stir-fry on high heat: High heat is essential for getting a good sear on the chicken and vegetables. Make sure your pan is hot before you add the ingredients.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and dry.
  • Add the sauce at the end: Adding the sauce at the end will help prevent the vegetables from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

This spicy Vietnamese stir-fry is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is tender and juicy, the vegetables are crisp and flavorful, and the sauce is spicy and tangy. Serve it over rice or noodles, and enjoy!
