CHICKEN BREAST WITH CILANTRO & RED THAI CURRY PEANUT SAUCE RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Chicken Breast with Cilantro & Red Thai Curry Peanut Sauce Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by á-8655

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2-inch thick
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and minced
1 tablespoon fresh garlic, chopped
1/2 cup smooth natural peanut butter (without added sugar), room temperature
1/4 cup rice vinegar (not "seasoned" vinegar, which has sugar)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Splenda or sugar
1 teaspoon red Thai Curry Paste
3 tablespoons homemade chicken stock or canned chicken broth
Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 cup unsweetened lite coconut milk
4 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Trim chicken breasts so they are about the same size and remove any visible fat or ragged edges. Put each chicken breast inside plastic bag or between plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to pound to even 1/2 inch thickness. Finely mince the ginger and garlic. In food processor or immersion blender canister combine ginger, garlic, peanut butter, rice vinegar, soy sauce, Splenda or sugar, curry paste, and chicken stock. Taste to see if you want to add more red curry paste. Heat the oil in heavy, large frying pan. Season chicken with black pepper, then add chicken to pan and sauté over medium heat about until chicken breasts are nicely browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes on first side, and 2 to 3 minutes more on second side. It's important not to overcook the chicken; it should feel barely firm to the touch when you take it out of the pan. Remove chicken to plate and cover with foil. Reduce heat to low and add 1 cup coconut milk. (You can freeze the other 3/4 cup coconut milk for another time.) Scrape off browned bits from the bottom of the pan, then stir in peanut/curry/ginger paste mixture and heat through, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add any juices that have accumulated on the pate and cook another minute or two. Turn off heat and mix in chopped cilantro. Serve the sauce immediately over chicken breasts, with additional chopped cilantro for garnish if desired.

SPICY THAI PEANUT CHICKEN CURRY



Spicy Thai Peanut Chicken Curry image

This is a spicy dish, but the heat can be adjusted by reducing the curry and sambal oelek. It is quick and easy and it is so good. Time to cook rice is not included in prep time or cook time. Also...I often use lite coconut milk, it reduces the fat content and is still wonderful, just a little less rich.
