Best Chilli Chicken Peanut Pies Recipes

SHEET PAN THAI PEANUT-CHILI CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Season the chicken breast pieces generously with salt and pepper and place in a large, sealable plastic bag.
• In a medium-sized bowl, combine the sweet Thai chili sauce, lime juice, soy sauce, peanut butter, ginger, and garlic. Pour enough to cover the chicken into the sealable plastic bag. Close, shake around, and allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and place the chicken on a large nonstick baking sheet. Brush the chicken with additional marinade, if desired.
• In a separate large bowl, toss the bell peppers, broccoli, snow peas, carrots, and onion with the oil and about 1/3 cup's worth of the chicken marinade. Season with salt and pepper. Lay the vegetables around the chicken and top with lime wheels. Discard all of the remaining marinade that has touched raw chicken.
• Bake for about 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
• Drizzle the chicken and vegetables with additional marinade, if desired, sprinkle the chicken with the crushed peanuts, and broil to further crisp the vegetables and toast the peanuts, about 2 minutes.
• Top with cilantro and/or thai basil, and serve over basmati rice with additional sauce, if desired.

PEANUT BUTTER-CHILI CHICKEN

Steps:

• Sprinkle salt and pepper over chicken.
• Heat oil in 12-inch skillet or 4-quart Dutch oven over medium heat.
• Cook chicken in oil about 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until brown on all sides. Cover and cook over low heat about 20 minutes or until juice is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut. Remove chicken from skillet using tongs.
• Drain all but 1 tablespoon drippings from skillet. Heat 1 tablespoon drippings over medium heat.
• Cook onion in drippings, stirring occasionally, until tender; reduce heat. Stir in peanut butter, chili sauce and ground red pepper. Gradually stir in water, stirring constantly, until peanut butter is melted. Add chicken. Spoon peanut butter sauce over chicken.
• Simmer uncovered about 5 minutes, spooning sauce frequently over chicken, until sauce is slightly thickened. Serve sauce over chicken. Sprinkle with peanuts and bell pepper. Serve with pasta.

THAI PEANUT CHICKEN CHILI

Steps:

• Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook in batches, if necessary, until nicely browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
• At the same time, heat a small amount of water to boiling in a small saucepan. Add carrots and boil until just starting to get tender, about 2 minutes. Drain.
• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat; stir in onion, white parts of scallions, garlic, and ginger. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine coconut milk, peanut butter, 1/4 cup water, Sriracha, lime juice, and salt in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring often, until peanut butter is melted and mixture is smooth.
• Add cooked chicken, carrots, and peanut sauce to the onion mixture. Stir in beans, scallion greens, and basil until well mixed.
• Simmer over low heat, stirring often, until well blended and heated through, 30 to 40 minutes. The sauce should be a little thin as it cooks; if not, add water until desired consistency.
