CHICKEN STIR-FRY WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE



Chicken Stir-Fry with Spicy Peanut Sauce image

"How do I make chicken interesting?" is a question people often ask me. Here's your answer. I love making a double batch of this sauce and keeping it in the door of the fridge for a day when I need something tasty in a pinch. Don't like spice? Simply omit the hot sauce and the red pepper flakes. You can also sub thinly sliced lean beef for the chicken or just make it a stir-fry with all vegetables...

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 knob ginger, grated (to equal about 1 tablespoon)
5 large cloves garlic, grated
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/4-inch-thick strips
Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons canola oil
12 to 15 small red radishes, quartered, plus 1 loose cup radish greens, coarsely chopped
1 large red bell pepper, cored, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch-thick strips
1 cup frozen peas
Zest and juice from 1 small lime

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk the peanut butter with the soy sauce, vinegar, honey, hot sauce, sesame oil, ginger, two-thirds of the garlic and 2 tablespoons warm water until smooth. (If the sauce is too thick, thin with a little more warm water.) Set aside.
  • Arrange the pieces of chicken on a baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle on one side with salt and the red pepper flakes. Turn the pieces on their other side and sprinkle again with salt.
  • Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Add half of the oil and heat until it begins to smoke. Remove the skillet from the heat and quickly add half of the chicken pieces in a single layer. Return the pan to high heat and cook, stirring from time to time, until the chicken is fully cooked, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and repeat with the remaining oil and chicken.
  • In the same skillet, stir in the remaining garlic, radishes, radish greens and peppers and season with salt. Mix so the radish greens wilt. Stir in the peanut sauce and simmer for an additional minute. Taste for seasoning. Stir in the peas and the chicken. Turn off the heat and let rest a couple of minutes on the stove. Top with a few grates of lime zest and the juice.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help the cooking process go more smoothly.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables and herbs will give your stir-fry the best flavor. If possible, buy them from a local farmers market or grocery store.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you add the chicken and vegetables to the pan, make sure there is enough space for them to cook evenly. If the pan is too crowded, the food will steam instead of stir-fry.
  • Use a high heat: Stir-fries are cooked over high heat. This helps to create a nice sear on the chicken and vegetables and prevents them from becoming soggy.
  • Stir constantly: Stirring the food constantly will help to prevent it from sticking to the pan and burning.
  • Season to taste: Once the stir-fry is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed.

Conclusion:

This gluten-free spicy peanut chicken stir-fry is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The chicken is tender and juicy, the vegetables are crisp, and the sauce is flavorful and slightly spicy. Serve it over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
