Chicken breasts in a peanut sauce with orange and ginger bring a touch of international flavor to the table. Thin, lightly pounded chicken slices are seared until golden, then simmered for about 30 minutes in a sauce of peanut butter, tomatoes, soy sauce, honey, orange juice, ginger, and curry powder. The finished dish is sprinkled with parsley and coarsely chopped peanuts. Serve with rice; this recipe serves four.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

  1. Mix all the sauce ingredients thoroughly. Pat the chicken breasts dry, cut them into thin slices, pound lightly, and season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a skillet and sear the chicken until golden.
  2. Pour the sauce over the chicken in the skillet and simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally and add water as needed.
  3. Sprinkle the cooked chicken with parsley and coarsely chopped peanuts, and serve with rice.

Tip: Mix the peanut butter with the orange juice and soy sauce before adding the remaining ingredients to keep the sauce free of lumps. Scrape the bottom of the pan occasionally with a wooden spoon while simmering, as the sauce tends to stick.
