SWEET CHILI CHICKEN WITH RICE



Sweet Chili Chicken With Rice image

This is a super simple meal that has wonderful flavour and can either be made for a main meal or as a light meal depending on the amount of rice cooked. As we are trying not to eat too many carbs at the moment and this was for a main meal I served ours with less rice and some sauced bok choy which paired really well. As you can only buy lemon grass in such large quantities here I have found a brand that is already made into a paste. I used to always use fresh but ended up throwing half of it away before I could use it, so I asked at my local Asian grocery store once what she had and she told me about the paste. It tastes just as good but to me it is more concentrated than fresh so I used 1 Teaspoon in this recipe, I would use 1 Tablespoon if using fresh.

CHICKEN, CHILI AND SWEET POTATO SOUP



Chicken, Chili and Sweet Potato Soup image

This is a recipe my hubby has fallen in love with and recreated the next day at home. He requested I post it and I must admit, it is very good soup and I'm not a fan of spicy foods but this was fantastic. In his words...."Friday I went to Phillpots, which is a small takeaway "lunch bar". I love their soup and went for the sweet potato, chili and chicken soup. It was so damn good that whilst we were at the supermarket on Saturday, I thought would try to make it. So, I used the obvious ingredients and added a little salt, pepper and cream and voila. It was near on a perfect match! Not only was it good, it's SOOOOOO easy to make, so hope you give it a go. You wont be disappointed ;)"

RICE NOODLE BOWLS WITH SWEET CHILI CHICKEN



Rice Noodle Bowls with Sweet Chili Chicken image

One of my favorite Vietnamese dishes is bun thịt nuong, which consists of cold or room temperature rice vermicelli topped with grilled pork and pickled and fresh vegetables. When I can't get to my favorite Vietnamese restaurant, I make this easy and tasty riff at home. It's layered with incredible flavor, which comes from sweet and tangy stir-fried chicken, aromatic basil and the best-ever quick pickles. Don't have the rice noodles? Swap in your favorite grain, pasta or spiralized vegetable.

SWEET RED CHILI CHICKEN SATAY



Sweet Red Chili Chicken Satay image

Provided by Sandra Lee

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h45m

Yield 24 skewers

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, or 8 thighs each cut into 3 pieces
1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons minced garlic
Oil, for grill
Special equipment: 24 bamboo skewers, soaked in water 20 minutes

Steps:

  • Cut the chicken thighs into 1/2-wide long strips and place into a large resealable bag. In a bowl, whisk together the chili sauce, pineapple juice, soy sauce, and garlic. Pour the marinade into the bag over the sliced chicken. Seal the bag and toss to coat completely. Place the bag into a large bowl and put into the refrigerator to marinate for at least 1 hour or as long as overnight.
  • To serve: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread the chicken strips onto the skewers. Oil the grill gates and place the chicken on the grill. Cook until the chicken is just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove from the heat and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your dish the best flavor. If possible, try to use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Use a good quality sweet chili sauce: The sweet chili sauce is the key ingredient in this dish, so make sure you use a good quality sauce. Look for a sauce that is made with real chili peppers and has a good balance of sweet and spicy flavors.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The chicken will be crispy and the sauce will be hot and flavorful.
