SPICY PEANUT CHICKEN
INGREDIENTS
RECIPE MAKES 4 SERVINGS
• 4 boneless, skinless
chicken breasts (4oz each)
• 2 tablespoons raw peanuts
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons peanut oil
• ½ onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons natural peanut
butter
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• ½ fresh jalapeño, sliced
DIRECTIONS
1. On a saucer or plate, stir the cumin and cinnamon together and
then rub into both sides of chicken breasts. Put the oil in a heavy
pan over medium heat and add the chicken and sliced onion.
Brown the chicken a bit on both sides.
2. While that’s happening, put all the liquid in a blender or food
processor along with the peanut butter, lemon juice, garlic, and
jalapeño. Blend until smooth (tip: wash your hands after handling
hot pepper).
3. Pour this rather thick sauce over the chicken (after turning the
chicken) and cover. Turn the heat to low, and let it cook for 10 to
15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
