Thai Chicken with Peanut Sauce
 

My local grocery store finally has an all-natural peanut butter. The ingedients list nothing but peanuts. No added salt or sugar. It's 5g carbs, minus 2g fibre for just 3g ecc in 2 tablespoons. I know you guys have all probably been using this, but this is something new to me and I've been experimenting with it to see what all I can make. I had this last night. Very nummy.

Thai Chicken with Peanut Sauce

4 boneless/skinless chicken breasts, cubed
ground ginger (to taste)
1 clove garlic, minced
peanut oil

Sauce
3 tablespoons peanut butter
2 tablespoons warm water
1 tablespoon brown sugartwin
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Combine chicken, garlic and ginger. Heat oil in a non-stick pan and add chicken, stir-frying until done to your liking.

Combine the sauce ingredients in a bowl and mix. Can nuke it a minute if you want it hot. Pour over chicken. 4 servings with about 3 - 5g ecc per servicing.

it was good but.....
 

The chicken w/ peanut sauce was very good and smelled even better, but I do not like any sweetner other than splenda... any subs for the sugar twin??? I could taste it .... I took the left overs to my parents and my dad loved it!!!! he wanted more!!! maybe the aftertaste was all in my head............. :q:

You could use splenda. I used the brown sugar twin because I like the taste of brown sugar in this dish. :)

wonderful recipe
 

You have done it again!!!

I made this for lunch one day and wrapped it up in a lettuce leaf like they are doing in the fancy thai restaurants. My hubby, who hates peanut butter, loved it. I made a dipping sauce out of fish sauce, vinegar, and soy. It was so yummy. I made it again the following week with pork loin. It was still yummy.

Thank you,

Oh I am DEFinitely trying this one very soon!

Thanks for the recipe! :)

I just did it tonight and it was great.

I just tried the Thai Chicken with Peanut sauce and it was wonderful - One question--???
:confused: :confused:
How much ginger do I use-I have never used ginger before so not sure how potent it is?? I think I used maybe 1/4 tsp for 2 chicken breasts but did not really taste it!!

Anyway-very good-Thanks for the recipe!!!

If anyone is still reading through this post, I just recently tried this recipe tonight and it was utterly wonderful. I used splenda rather than brown sugar twin for the sweetener but my goodness, all I can say is


mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

This recipe is well worth trying...

I am glad this thread was refreshed. I had forgotten how good this dish is. I made it again last night for supper, with pork instead. Every time I make it I am surprised that my DH likes it, as he hates peanut butter. He always asks what the dish is called and I say " it is pork with thai sauce". Last night we had it wrapped up in a LC tortilla with some sauted shredded cabbage. I love this recipe!

the peanut sauce also makes a great spicy slaw dressing if you are trying to eat more cabbage for its many benefits

Hi - We made this last night - added asparagus and red bell peppers plus cut the chicken and stir fried it in 1T hot chili oil and 1T Peanut Oil. It was fabulous. Thanks, PecanPie
