The Preparation
- 6 medium boneless, skinless chicken thighs (~25 oz.)
- 6 tbsp. peanut butter, smooth (unsweetened)
- 1/4 cup chicken stock
- 2 tbsp. soy sauce
- 1 tbsp. orange juice
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp. sesame oil
- 2 tsp. chili paste
- 1/4 tsp. coriander
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
- salt and pepper to taste
The Execution
- Add all of the ingredients (except for the chicken) to a container and immersion blend.
- Cube chicken thighs and season and salt and pepper.
- Heat a dry pan over high heat. Once it’s very hot, add chicken and saute for about a minute.
- Drain the excess moisture with a paper towel and set aside.
- Continue cooking the chicken until the chicken is browned well. Continue draining excess moisture throughout the cooking process, but don’t be overly aggressive. It won’t take too long.
- Once the chicken is browned and cooked through, remove from the heat. Pour peanut sauce over the chicken and stir well.
