Thai Peanut Chicken
Description :
This Thai peanut chicken dish with broccoli is cooked in a spicy sauce. If you like it mild, use less cayenne; if you like it spicy, use more. If you're salt conscious, use low-sodium soy sauce.
Ingredient :
-
4 cups water
-
2 cups uncooked white rice
-
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
-
2 ½ cups broccoli florets
-
¾ cup chopped green onions
-
⅓ cup unsalted dry-roasted peanuts
Direction :
-
Combine water and rice in a saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, stir together soy sauce, peanut butter, vinegar, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl; set aside.
-
Heat olive oil in a skillet or wok over high heat. Cook and stir chicken, garlic, and ginger in hot oil until chicken is lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add broccoli, green onions, peanuts, and soy sauce mixture. Cook, stirring frequently, until broccoli is tender and chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
-
Serve chicken-broccoli mixture over cooked rice.
