This Thai peanut chicken with coconut milk is quick, easy and delicious. A perfect weeknight meal. Serve with rice noodles, pasta or rice. Great in a rice bowl, too.

This Thai chicken dish features the wonderful flavours of coconut milk and peanut butter, but with some added spices, to make it a little more complex. It comes together so quickly and easily on the stovetop (no oven required!) and is ready in just about 30 minutes, so it’s perfect for a weeknight meal.

Ingredients:

5-6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, or 2 large boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

1-2 tsp cooking oil

1/2 medium onion, diced

1/2 tsp ground coriander

1/2 tsp ground cumin

1/4 tsp salt, a touch less if using regular soy sauce

1 tsp ginger paste, or 1/2 tsp freshly grated ginger or 1/4 tsp dried ginger powder

1 tsp Asian Chili garlic sauce, plus more, to taste or Sambal Oelek or Sriracha

1 Tbsp soy sauce, low-sodium recommended

1/2 tsp brown sugar

1 Tbsp peanut butter, smooth or crunchy, plus a bit more stirred in at the end, if you like

5.5 oz coconut milk, small/mini can or measure out about 2/3 cup of stirred coconut milk from a larger can

To finish:

1/2 tsp lime zest, optional, but recommended

Juice of 1/2 lime, optional, but recommended

For serving:

Chopped cilantro, optional

Chopped peanuts, optional

Lime wedges, for drizzling
