THAI COCONUT PEANUT CHICKEN

Steps:

• For the Sauce: Heat coconut milk, peanut butter, and broth in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until smooth and heated through (do not let boil).
• Add remaining sauce ingredients, seasoning to taste, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens to the consistency of thin spaghetti sauce.
• Remove from heat and cover, if will continue to thicken off the heat.
• To prepare the chicken:.
• Heat some sesame oil in a large skillet over medium high heat and stir fry the chicken chunks until almost cooked through.
• While the chicken is cooking, squeeze some lime juice into the pan to add moisture, as much as needed.
• Set aside about 1/2 cup of the diced scallions for a garnish later, and add the rest to the chicken, along with the carrots and stir fry until the veggies are lightly browned and the chicken is fully cooked, adding even more lime juice as needed for moisture.
• Pour some of the peanut sauce over the chicken in the pan and toss to coat (a ladleful or two).
• Portion cooked pasta onto serving plates and ladle some more peanut sauce on top of each (or if you prefer, toss pasta with some of the sauce first).
• Ladle chicken mixture on top of each portion, and drizzle with a bit more peanut sauce if desired.
• Sprinkle with some cayenne pepper and some reserved scallions (and nuts if desired) as garnish.
• You may have extra sauce, which keeps about 2 days covered in the fridge, a nice dip for chicken fingers.

COCONUT BASIL CHICKEN BURGERS WITH THAI PEANUT PESTO

Steps:

• Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.
• For the slaw: Whisk together the lime juice and sugar in a medium-sized bowl to dissolve the sugar. Add the pear and carrot and toss to coat. Cover and chill until serving time.
• For the pesto: Place all of the ingredients except the tomatoes in a small food processor; process briefly until the mixture forms a coarse paste. Transfer to a small bowl and gently stir in the tomatoes. Cover and set aside.
• For the patties: Combine the coconut milk, lime zest, and lime juice in a 10-inch fire-proof skillet. Place the skillet on the grill rack and bring the mixture to a simmer. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thickened and reduced to 2/3 cup, about 15 minutes. Add the curry paste to the mixture and whisk until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl to cool.
• Place the chicken in a large mixing bowl. Add the cooled coconut milk mixture, basil, panko and salt. Using a large fork, mix the ingredients together gently but thoroughly. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and form the portions into patties to fit the buns, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty.
• When the grill is ready, brush the grill rack with oil. Place the patties on the rack, cover, and cook for 4 minutes. Flip the patties, cover, and cook an additional 4 minutes, or until the juices run clear from the center of the patties when pierced. During the last few minutes of cooking, arrange the buns, cut side down, around the edges of the grill to toast lightly.
• To assemble the burgers: Distribute an equal amount of the slaw on the bottom buns. Top each with a patty and a dollop of the pesto. Add the bun tops and serve.
