THAI PEANUT CHICKEN STIR FRY

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients: peanut butter, water, honey, soy sauce, red curry paste, vinegar, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes until smooth. Set aside.
• In a large wok or deep, large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium- high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onion and cook until fragrant and beginning to soften, about 3 minutes.
• Add the chicken and sauté, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked through and the juices run clear, about 4 minutes. Remove the chicken and onion from the skillet and set aside.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, then the mixed vegetables. Sauté until the vegetables are crisp- tender, 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the vegetables selected.
• Return the chicken and onion to the skillet. Add the reserved peanut sauce. Toss to coat evenly, and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in the peanuts and cilantro. Serve hot over rice, topped with additional chopped peanuts and cilantro as desired.

THAI CHICKEN WRAP WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat a grill pan over high heat. Toss chicken with soy and oil and grill 6 minutes on each side.

• Whisk peanut butter, soy sauce, vinegar and cayenne together. Stream in vegetable oil.
• Slice cooked chicken on an angle. Toss with veggies and herbs.
• In a very hot nonstick skillet or over a gas burner heat tortillas 15 seconds on each side.
• Pile chicken and veggies in wraps and drizzle liberally with spicy peanut sauce before wrapping and rolling.

MAGIC NOODLES (SPICY THAI PEANUT CURRY NOODLES)

Steps:

• Begin by poaching the chicken breast. (If you are using tofu, bake, fry, or steam your tofu. That is up to you!).
• Wrap chicken in a tin-foil wrapper and place in a baking dish. Bake at 425 for about 30 minutes or until cooked completely through. While the chicken is baking, begin the sauce.
• Pour the coconut milk into a large skillet with high sides and gently warm on medium heat for a couple minutes. Add the peanut butter and melt. As the peanut butter melts, add in the rest of the sauce (save 1/2 cup chopped peanuts) ingredients and stir fully. Let gently simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes.
• Start a large pot of water to boil for the noodles.
• Rinse and slice the peppers into thin strips.
• Rinse the rest of the veggies and add all of the veggies to the sauce.
• Cover and let continue to simmer on lowest heat.
• When the chicken is finished cooking, remove it from the oven and the foil & let it rest for a few minutes or until cool enough to slice. Slice the chicken into slices or chunks and add to the sauce and toss.
• Rice noodles cook fairly quickly, so keep your eye on them. Add rice noodles to boiling water and let cook according to the package directions (about 6-8 minutes). Test by eating one of the noodles for doneness. Noodle should be al dente -- cooked but not overcooked.
• Drain noodles.
• Turn off heat.
• Add a small amount of the coconut peanut butter sauce to the large pasta pot.
• Return the noodles to the pot.
• Pour the rest of the sauce with veggies on top of the noodles.
• Toss thoroughly.
• Serve with a garnish of chopped peanuts on top.
