Thai Chicken

I had a friend ask for another recipe that we LOVE around here....especially when it gets warmer and we can grill/saute. So here is our beloved Thai Chicken recipe. Thanks Beth McKenzie for giving it to us years ago. (we might have first tried this in college!)

Thai Chicken
-Chicken, Veggies, Rice, Peanut Sauce

Ingredients for peanut sauce:

1/2 cup water
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup soy sauce
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 T. honey
3 T. fresh lemon juice
3/4 t. powdered ginger
1/2 t. crushed red pepper flakes-optional (I add only a pinch for a bit of heat)

Directions: place all ingredients in a pan on the stove. Slowly blend/wisk it all together and cook on med heat until smooth and blended.

Grill:
4 Chicken breast
One red pepper, cut into chunks
One red onion, cut into chunks
One package of small mushrooms
One package of cherry tomatoes
-we put all the veggies into a saute pan on the grill, but you could skewer everything)

Directions:
1. Marinate chicken in Italian Dressing for at least 30 minutes.
2. Grill and then cut into strips for serving
3. Grill veggies--If you don't have a grill, saute or roast in oven

Serve over brown rice -chicken and veggies topped with peanut sauce.
The peanut sauce makes the dish!
