Don't get on my case if this isn't authentically Indonesian, okay? When I found the recipe, it was called Indonesian Chicken, and, not being Indonesian or knowing anyone from Indonesia, I can neither confirm nor deny that this is, indeed, Indonesian Chicken. It is, however, definitely a recipe for chicken, and a mighty tasty one at that. The peanut sauce is also useful to put on things that you don't want to serve naked, such as noodles, rice, or steamed veggies. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons soy sauce |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/8 teaspoon black pepper |
4 chicken breasts, skinned,boned and cut into 1-inch pieces |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1/4 cup chopped green onion (including tops) |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1/2 cup peanut butter (preferably creamy type) |
2 cups water |
1 tablespoon soy sauce |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/8 teaspoon dried cayenne pepper |
Directions:
1. Combine soy sauce, sugar, lemon juice, garlic powder and pepper.
2. Add chicken and marinate 30 minutes.
3. Skewer pieces on wooden skewers if desired, and brush with oil.
4. Broil 3 inches from heat for 5 minutes.
5. Can also be cooked on preheated grill pan or stir fried, if you prefer.
6. Meanwhile, prepare spicy peanut sauce.
7. Saute green onion in the oil until limp.
8. Remove from heat and add peanut butter.
9. Gradually stir in water, then add remaining ingredients.
10. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it comes to a boil.
11. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes, until the sauce is thickened enough to coat a spoon.
12. Stir occasionally while simmering.
13. Serve chicken with the spicy peanut sauce for dipping.
14. May also be served over hot cooked rice or noodles.
