Here is a recipe we haven't tried yet, but it sounds good to me. From
Full Tummies.
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 T. olive oil
- 2 c. chicken broth
- 1/2 c. peanut butter (I used natural, unsweetened)
- 2 T. soy sauce
- 1/2 c. evaporated milk
- 1/2 t. salt
- 1/8 t. pepper
- 2 T. lemon juice
- 2 T. honey
- 1/2 c. chopped peanuts (I used unsalted, dry roasted)
- Freeze chicken for 1 hour so it's easier to slice. Then cut chicken into 1-inch strips and refrigerate. In heavy skillet, saute onion in olive oil until crisp-tender. Cool in refrigerator. When cool, place chicken strips and sauteed onion in zipper-lock bags and place in freezer.
- In medium bowl, combine chicken broth, peanut butter, soy sauce, evaporated milk, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and honey and mix well to blend. Pour into another zipper-lock bag and attach to chicken along with small bag of chopped peanuts. Label bags and freeze.
- To thaw and reheat: Thaw all bags overnight in refrigerator. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in heavy skillet. Add chicken mixture and cook, stirring frequently, for 7 to 8 minutes. Add sauce mixture and bring to a boil. Simmer chicken and sauce for 10 to 20 minutes, until chicken is thoroughly cooked, stirring frequently. Sprinkle dish with copped peanuts and serve (I serve it over brown rice).
- To cook without freezing: just follow cooking directions without going to the trouble of chilling everything and placing in ziploc bags!
Serves 4-6
Just finished eating this for dinner. It was really good & the kids ate it without complaint (always a feat in our house!). This is something I will make again. There is a lot of sauce...more than we would use. Also, I would probably double the amount of chopped peanuts because I really liked the crunchy contrast. Last thing...if you are used to cooking with chicken breast, the thighs look a little gross when cooking them, but hang in there because it really is good!
