Crazy Thai Goodness

I decided to try making this at home after having it at a Thai restaurant. It is really easy and quick to make.



What You Need
Makes 4 servings

4 Chicken Breasts
8 oz Fresh Spinach
2 cups rice

Peanut Sauce
1/4 cup Peanut Butter
1 tbsp Soy Sauce
1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
1 tbsp Thai Sweet Chili Sauce
2 tbsp Water



What To Do

Step 1: Cook rice in rice cooker or on the stove top according to the instructions.

Step 2: Cook chicken on medium heat until fully cooked. Cut chicken into bite size pieces.

Step 3: Cook spinach on low heat with the lid on. Once the spinach has wilted but still looks fresh and green remove from the stove. Strain the spinach to get as much liquid out as possible.

Step 4: In a small bowl add the peanut butter, rice vinegar, Thai sweet chili sauce and water. Mix with a fork or whisk for about 5 minutes. It will start to look stringy (see below) but after a few minutes it should become smooth and creamy. If it appears too liquidy, even after several minutes of mixing, add a little more peanut butter. If it is too thick add water, a little at a time, until it reaches a good consistency. Stir until creamy and uniform.

Step 5: Mix the chicken, spinach and peanut sauce together in a pan. Make sure to break up the spinach so it is evenly distributed. Serve over rice and Enjoy!
