Thai Peanut Chicken image

This is a very tasty Asian-inspired dish made with chicken and broccoli in a spicy peanut sauce. If you like it mild, use less cayenne, like it spicy, use more. If you're salt conscious, use low sodium soy sauce.

Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups uncooked white rice
4 cups water
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into thin strips
3 tablespoons chopped garlic
1 ½ tablespoons chopped fresh ginger root
¾ cup chopped green onions
2 ½ cups broccoli florets
⅓ cup unsalted dry-roasted peanuts

Steps:

  • Combine the rice and water in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until rice is tender. In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, peanut butter, vinegar, and cayenne pepper. Set aside.
  • Heat oil in a skillet or wok over high heat. Add chicken, garlic and ginger, and cook, stirring constantly, until chicken is golden on the outside, about 5 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium, and add green onion, broccoli, peanuts, and the peanut butter mixture. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, or until broccoli is tender, and chicken is cooked through. Serve over rice.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. The chicken was cooked well, but the peanut sauce lacked flavor. I would not make this again.
