Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. To make the sauce, whisk together chili sauce, soy sauce, garlic, fish sauce, ginger, lime juice and Sriracha in a small bowl; set aside. Melt butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Stir in chili sauce mixture. Place into oven and roast until completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 25-30 minutes. Then broil for 2-3 minutes, or until caramelized and slightly charred. Serve immediately, garnished with peanuts and cilantro, if desired.
FIRST PLACE WINNER: THAI-INSPIRED STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST AND SLAW
Steps:
- For the chicken: In a large bowl, mix the rice, coconut, green onion, basil, cilantro, chili sauce, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and zest from 1 lime. Place chicken between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound to even thickness. Place equal amounts of rice mixture on each breast half. Wrap chicken around filling, securing with toothpicks. In a glass pie plate, mix together flour, zest of 1 lime, salt and pepper. In another plate, mix coconut milk, and 2 tablespoons lime juice. In third plate, mix together peanuts, panko, black and white sesame seeds. Roll chicken breasts, 1 at a time, first in flour mixture, then in coconut milk mixture and finally in peanut mixture, coating well. In shallow baking pan, arrange chicken, seam side down and place in 350 degree F oven. Bake 30 minutes or until juices run clear.
- For slaw: In a large bowl mix together all ingredients and refrigerate.
- To plate: Place slaw on serving platter, removed picks from chicken and add chicken to plate. Garnish with cucumber, lime and cilantro.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss anything.
- Use a Sharp Knife: A sharp knife will make it much easier to slice the chicken breasts thinly. If you don't have a sharp knife, you can use a kitchen shears.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When cooking the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
- Use a Medium Heat: Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from burning.
- Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken breasts can dry out quickly, so it's important to not overcook them. Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but still tender and juicy.
- Make the Sauce Ahead of Time: The Thai sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This will save you time when you're ready to make the dish.
