Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch strips)
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten free)
1/2 tablespoon fish sauce (or additional 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce)
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (from 2 small, juicy limes)
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
5 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten free)
2 teaspoons fish sauce (or additional 2 teaspoons soy sauce)
2 teaspoons Sriracha sauce
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 1 small lime)
Chopped fresh cilantro (chopped unsalted roasted peanuts, and lime wedges, for serving)

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all of the marinade ingredients, except for the chicken: soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, honey, Sriracha, ginger, and garlic. Add the chicken, toss to coat, then cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to marinate for 2 hours or overnight. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling. If using wooden skewers, soak the skewers in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the peanut sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine the chicken broth, peanut butter, honey, soy sauce, fish sauce, Sriracha, ginger, and garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then let cook, stirring often, until the sauce is smooth and has thickened, about 6 minutes. Stir in the lime juice and set aside.
  • When ready to cook, preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high. Then thread the chicken onto skewers.
  • Grill chicken until cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Let rest for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with peanuts and cilantro, then serve warm with peanut sauce and lime wedges.

Categories     Thai Recipes

Yield 50

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 teaspoons light or dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ cup prepared Thai peanut sauce
½ cup light coconut milk
½ cup chicken broth
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped peanuts
2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions

Steps:

  • Mix sugar and dry seasonings in a small bowl. In a 2-cup measuring cup, mix peanut sauce, coconut milk and broth. Split each breast by cutting in half horizontally. Lightly pound to about a 1/2-inch thickness. Place chicken and oil in a medium bowl; toss to coat. Sprinkle seasoning mix evenly over chicken breasts.
  • Heat a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, then add chicken. Cook, turning once, until crusty brown and fully cooked, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest.
  • Add peanut mixture to empty skillet; cook, stirring constantly to loosen brown bits, until sauce reduces by half, about 2 to 4 minutes. Return to measuring cup. (Chicken and sauce can be made 2 hours ahead; reheat in a warm oven or microwave.)
  • To serve, cut each breast cutlet into 12 to 15 bite-sized pieces. Transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle with a little peanut sauce, then sprinkle with peanuts and scallions. Serve immediately with toothpicks and remaining dipping sauce.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your dish turns out perfectly.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your dish will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken breast can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for best results.
  • Make Sure the Sauce is Thick Enough: The dipping sauce should be thick enough to coat the chicken bites, but not so thick that it's difficult to dip. If the sauce is too thin, simmer it for a few minutes until it thickens.
  • Garnish for Presentation: Before serving, garnish the chicken bites with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or basil, for an extra pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Thai chicken bites with dipping sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They're perfect for parties or potlucks, and they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. The combination of sweet, sour, and spicy flavors is irresistible, and the chicken is cooked to perfection.
