Peanut Chicken Recipe
* a T of oil * 1lb boneless chicken, cut into bite-size pieces * 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped * 1.5C chicken broth * 4t soy sauce * 2T sugar * 2 clove garlic, minced * 1/4t cayenne pepper or a few dashes of red flakes * 1.5t ginger or 1" piece fresh ginger root, peeled&chopped * 1T cornstarch * 1 bunch green onions, chopped (i eyed it and definitely used less) * 1 bunch cilantro, chopped (same as above, didn't want it to be overbearing) * 1/2C CRUNCHY (must) peanut butter (or 1C unsalted roasted peanuts but then it won't be as creamy) cook chicken in oil (about 6-8 min) and when it's about done, add in red peppers. Cook until tender. set aside. I did not drain any juices. In a bowl, mix the broth, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, cayenne pepper, ginger&cornstarch. Pour into the large skillet with chicken. Heat up to boil, and add green onions, cilantro, and pb. Letting boil for about 5-10 min. was all it took for it to thicken up. I really didn't need the cornstarch. note: if using peanuts, do not add until very end. use extra green onions to garnish. Also would taste great with broccoli and/or snap peas added in, but I have not had a chance to go to the grocery store so we skipped it. 
Served w/brown rice, but usually use jasmine. |

Sounds good. Why wouldn't people like it? I wish Thai food didn't have so many peanuts. That's an ingredient that's hard to substitute with something else, and I'm allergic  |
| sounds yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i'm not allergic but being pregnant can't eat them at the moment my hubby and i both have allergys and its recomended that i not eat them, incase i pass apeanut allergy on to the baby ( didn't eat them with isaac and i think he would die if i told him no more peanut butter sandwiches it his fav breakfast food three year olds for you). i wonder if you could use a differentnut butter my whols food sells load sof types zoe and einy |
This sounds great, I need to get some chicken  |
| I wonder if the sauce tastes anything like the one I had at a restaurant in Fort Erie, The Barrel Pizza and Spaghetti House.
It was a thai chicken pasta dish and it was absolutely amazing. Never tasted anything like it before or since. I've tried to replicate it a couple of times and haven't been able to. The closest I came was using an asian sesame salad dressing but also cooking the chicken in butter, garlic, salt, pepper and a crushed red pepper paste. (that was last night) We had it mixed with mixed veg and egg noodles. It was good, but not quite what I was going for. |
| Stacey, what was the place we went to with Amber in Simcoe? That was excellent chicken. |

I would say my version is more "American" thai. Anyway, what you made sounds real tasty!! |
