Thai Chicken
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 6 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons chili paste
- 1 onion
- 12 ounces rice noodles
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup crunchy peanut butter
- 2 green onions
- Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces and place in a bowl.
- Peel the garlic, finely chop, and add to the bowl.
- Add the ginger, soy sauce, and chili paste to the bowl and stir until well coated.
- Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Peel the onion, cut in half, and cut each half into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil.
- Add the rice noodles and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente.
- Drain the noodles in a colander and keep warm.
- Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved.
- Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
- Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade (but dont discard the marinade), add to the pan, and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes.
- Add the marinade and water to the pan and bring to a boil.
- Reduce to low heat and cook for 5 minutes.
- Add the peanut butter, stir until completely incorporated, and remove from the heat.
- Trim the green onions, discarding the ends, and cut the white and about 1 inch of the green parts into thin slices.
- Toss the chicken with noodles, garnish with the green onions, and serve immediately.
- Okay, this sounds like a complicated change, but its not.
- Mix the marinade ingredients in a bowl, but dont marinate anything.
- Follow the rest of the directions, skipping the part about cooking the chicken, and add 2 cups of broccoli with the marinade.
- Its easy and delicious.
- I love rice noodles in this recipe, but they can cost more than twice as much as regular pasta.
- If you cant get the rice noodles on sale, vermicelli is a fine substitute.
