This wonderful peanut chicken recipe is a family favorite of ours — and we have 3 very young children! Everyone who enjoys this recipe always asks what restaurant we ordered it from. It is fast and simple to make. I would say it’s a bit like a stir-fry with a Thai flavor. Serve on top of cooked brown or classic white rice. Very good with a simple side like mandarin oranges to complete this meal
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon wok oil or peanut oil
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves – cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger root, peeled and chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 1 bunch green onions, chopped
- 1 bunch cilantro, chopped
- 2 cups chopped dry roasted peanuts
Directions
Step 1
Heat oil in a wok over medium heat. Cook and stir chicken in hot oil until juices run clear. Mix in bell pepper and continue cooking until pepper is tender.
Step 2
Mix together broth, sugar, cornstarch, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl until well combined; pour into the wok. Toss in green onions and cilantro, reserving some of each for garnish. Continue to cook and stir until mixture is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Mix in peanuts and garnish with reserved green onions and cilantro to serve.
