Last night's dinner (and tonight's leftovers!), one of my favorites: Peanut chicken curry. Bringing the curry house into my home kitchen is one of my favorite things to do for dinner. This recipe comes from Food Wishes and, while it's not based on any specific country or culture, it's absolutely delicious! It definitely has a kick to it but isn't overly spicy (and I say this as a wimp when it comes to spicy spices) and its savory, peanut-y flavor is just divine. The aroma it fills the kitchen with on a cold-weathered night is out of this world. Serve this over steamed white rice and your tummy will be coze in no time! Peanut Chicken Curry For the Spice Blend: 2 t. coriander 2 t. cumin 1 t. turmeric 1 t. paprika 1 T. salt 1/2 t. cayenne For the Chicken: 2 1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed 2 T. vegetable oil 1 large yellow onion, chopped 1 T. ginger 1 T. minced garlic 1/2 cup ketchup 3/4 cup smooth peanut butter 1 T. packed brown sugar About 3 1/2 cups chicken broth, depending on desired thickness 1 zucchini, cut into chunks 1 red bell pepper, diced 1/2 cup roasted peanuts Steamed white rice Lime juice Combine the ingredients to make the spice blend. Sprinkle half of it over the chicken and toss to coat. This can be done the day before, if desired; just refrigerate the chicken overnight. In a large, deep-sided skillet, sauté the cubed chicken in the oil until golden brown, but not cooked all the way through. Transfer the meat to a plate. Turn the heat down to medium. Cook the onion for about five minutes, or until translucent and slightly golden. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for a minute. Add the remaining spice blend and cook for a minute. Add the chicken broth, chicken, ketchup, peanut butter, and brown sugar and stir. Bring the mixture to a boil, back down the heat, and simmer for 30 minutes. Add the vegetables and peanuts. Continue to simmer for 30-40 minutes, until the chicken and vegetables are fork-tender. Taste for seasoning. Serve over steamed white rice and garnish with fresh lime juice. #FeedingCreatively #Foodwishes #ChefJohnRecipes #SimpleCurrySupper #PeanutChickenCurry #CurryHouseAtHome #ColdWeatherComfortFood https://www.instagram.com/p/CHllVhun8eQ/?igshid=1mhrd60xazrv
