From the kitchen of Jaime Barkwell

Sprinkle boneless, skinless chicken breasts with salt & pepper.

In a large pan, heat:

2 Tbsp oil

Brown chicken.

Cover & cook on low until juices run clear.

Wrap chicken in foil.

Set aside.

In same pan, sauté:

1/2 large onion, chopped

On LOW, add:

1/2 c peanut butter

If the pan is too hot, the p.b. will separate.

It will taste fine, but look bad.

Stir in:

1/4 c Kikkoman brand Thai Chili Sauce

1/4 tsp cayenne

Increase for more heat, decrease for less.

Gradually stir in:

1/2 – 1 c water

I don’t measure the water.

Start with a 1/2 c, stir to incorporate.

Add more a little at a time until desired consistency.

Simmer on low for 10 minutes.

Add chicken.

Serve over cooked white rice.

NOTES

  • In photo, I added broccoli slaw, which I did not care for. Cucumbers, however, made a nice accompaniment. -Stephanie
