Sliced Chicken Breasts in a Thai Sauce image

Easy and quick, and also fresh and healthy! In this house each diner will get 2 chicken breasts, so the recipe serves 3 people -- but if you have smallies also sharing, 1 breast each will be enough for them, so my "3 - 6 portions" take that into account.

Time 35m

Yield 3-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 chicken breasts, skinless, deboned
1/2 cup flour, for dredging
salt and coarse black pepper
oil (for frying)
1 red bell pepper, deseeded and sliced into thin strips
1 yellow bell pepper, deseeded and sliced into thin strips (you can use green too)
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
2 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
4 spring onions, sliced up
4 tablespoons thai sweet chili sauce (a good brand)

Steps:

  • Flatten the breasts gently with a meat mallet. Dredge lightly in the flour, and cut into strips.
  • Heat a good layer of oil in a pan. Fry the strips, stirring, until done. Use quite a high heat: they will cook quickly. Drain on kitchen paper, and keep warm.
  • Fry the sweet pepper strips in the same pan, stirring. You might have to add more oil. Fry briefly, so that they are still crisp.
  • Then add the ginger, garlic and spring onion, and stir through for a minute or so.
  • Remove from heat, and stir in the Thai sweet chilli sauce.
  • Put the chicken strips in a serving bowl, and spoon over the peppers and sauce.
  • Nice-looking if served on top of a mound of jasmine rice, or -- healthier -- brown basmati. Nice sides are al dente thin baby green beans and a crisp salad.
