Categories: Thai Chicken

Ingredients

• 3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken pieces (or you can use bone-in for added flavor), cut into 1 1/2 inch wide chunks or strips
• 1/2 cup flour
• 4 Tbsp curry powder
• 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground peppercorns
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 2 Tbsp fresh ginger, minced
• 2 Tbsp garlic, minced
• 2 serrano chili peppers, seeded, de-veined, minced
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1/2 cup peanut butter (if using freshly ground peanuts, add 2 teaspoons of sugar)
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander seeds
• 8 green onions, chopped, greens included
• 1/3 cup each finely chopped mint and cilantro
• 2 limes cut into wedges

Directions

1. 1 Rinse chicken and pat dry. In a small sturdy paper bag, combine the flour, curry powder, salt and pepper. Shake well. Add the chicken pieces and shake to coat well.

2. 2 Heat oil in a large saucepan on medium high heat. Add chicken pieces. Cook 5-10 minutes (depending on size of chicken pieces) tossing occasionally to cook chicken evenly. Add the ginger, garlic, chili pepper and 1/2 cup of the chicken broth to the saucepan. Cook for 3 minutes, scraping the pan with a spatula and stirring to combine everything well.

3. 3 Add the peanut butter, stirring quickly to incorporate it with the chicken. Add the remaining 3 1/2 cups of broth slowly, stirring continuously to maintain an even texture. Let simmer for 10 minutes. Right before serving, add the coriander and green onions. Salt to taste.

4. 4 Serve with rice. Top each serving with fresh cilantro and mint. Squeeze a little lime juice over it as well.
