Description

This is a Thai inspired chicken cooked with peanut and curry flavor. It is a simple but flavorful recipe that can be paired with steamed rice and blanched vegetables. The dish has a nice balance between spiciness of the curry and sweetness of the peanut butter.

If you are a peanut butter lover, you should definitely try this!

Tips

Make sure to let the curry simmer enough to ensure the curry powder is cooked. The curry is not considered cooked if you get the powder feel when you taste it. If the curry powder is cooked, it should feel more smooth and taste like a spicy chicken broth.

You can easily find the chili garlic sauce in Walmart, Kroger or in any asian grocery stores
