- 2 chicken breasts cut into small pieces
- 1 can baby corn
- 1 can bamboo shoots
- 1/3 cup peanuts
- 2/3 Tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 bottle “House of Tsang” Peanut Sauce
Thoroughly cook the chicken in a large fry pan in some of the peanut sauce.
When the chicken starts to brown, add all the baby corn and bamboo shoots and the rest of the sauce from the bottle.
When the vegetables are cooked, add the peanuts and cilantro and then simmer a little longer until fully cooked.
Serve over rice or cooked and drained ramen noodles.
- Slow cooker Thai peanut chicken is another great method of cooking peanut chicken. Simply place the ingredients into the slow cooker. Set the crockpot on low for 4 to 5 hours or high for 3 hours. Stirring occasionally.
- Thai Sauce - Whisk together your own homemade peanut sauce! The base is peanut butter with low sodium soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and garlic cloves.
- Vegetables - Add in more veggies! Chopped green onions, broccoli, red bell pepper, or green onion will bring on more deliciousness.
- Seasonings - If you like it spicier, add in red pepper flakes, sriracha, chili powder, or red curry paste. Not all at once though!
- Serve with rice noodles, soba noodles, regular rice, brown rice or quinoa.
