CHEF JOHN'S PEANUT CURRY CHICKEN



Chef John's Peanut Curry Chicken image

I decided to not follow any specific recipe from any particular country or culture, but instead I made a simple composite of every peanut curry I've ever come across. I didn't use coconut milk, as I feel that's a little too sweet and rich for the peanut butter. I loved how this came out, and I can't imagine it being any richer.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
3 ½ cups chicken broth, or to taste
¾ cup unsweetened natural peanut butter
½ cup ketchup
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
1 pound zucchini, cut into chunks
1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
1 green poblano pepper, diced
2 cups hot cooked rice
1 lime, for garnish
½ cup roasted peanuts, plus more for garnish
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • Mix salt, coriander, cumin, turmeric, paprika, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl.
  • Place chicken pieces in a separate bowl and add 1/2 of the spice blend. Mix together thoroughly to coat each surface with spice blend.
  • Heat oil over high heat in a heavy pot. Brown half of the chicken pieces on all sides. Transfer to a bowl. Repeat with the rest of the chicken.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add onion to pot. Saute until onions start to turn translucent and golden, 1 or 2 minutes. Add garlic and ginger; cook about 1 minute. Stir in remaining spice blend; cook and stir one minute. Pour in chicken broth. Add browned chicken along with accumulated juices. Stir in peanut butter and ketchup; add brown sugar. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat to maintain a gentle, steady simmer. Simmer, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
  • Transfer zucchini, red bell pepper, poblano pepper, and peanuts to the pot. Stir to mix. Continue simmering until chicken and vegetables are fork tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Serve over rice with a squeeze of lime and a sprinkle of peanuts and chopped cilantro.

THAI PEANUT CHICKEN CASSEROLE

I used traditional pizza sauce and toppings in this recipe for years. After becoming a fan of Thai peanut chicken pizza, I decided to use those flavors instead. Serve with stir-fried vegetables or a salad with sesame dressing for an easy, delicious meal. -Katherine Wollgast, Troy, Missouri

SPICY THAI PEANUT CHICKEN CURRY



Spicy Thai Peanut Chicken Curry image

This is a spicy dish, but the heat can be adjusted by reducing the curry and sambal oelek. It is quick and easy and it is so good. Time to cook rice is not included in prep time or cook time. Also...I often use lite coconut milk, it reduces the fat content and is still wonderful, just a little less rich.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons peanut oil
3 tablespoons red curry paste
3 teaspoons sambal oelek (chili paste)
1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts, cut into small chunks
2 cups coconut milk
3 tablespoons fish sauce
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
steamed cooked jasmine rice
crushed peanuts
lime

Steps:

  • In a medium saute pan saute peanut oil, red curry and sambal over med. heat for a few minutes.
  • Add the chicken and cook through.
  • Add coconut milk, fish sauce, brown sugar and peanut butter.
  • Simmer about 10 minutes.
  • Serve over steamed Jasmine rice.
  • Top with fresh lime juice and crushed peanuts.
  • Tip: If you are worried about the heat, just add half of the curry and sambal in the first step. Try it after everything has been added and if it's not spicy enough you can then add more curry. If then you want it more spicy you can add more sambal, the sambal is more spicy than the curry.
