Thai-Style Chicken Bites Served with Dip

Ingredients 0/14

Step 1

Combine the sugar and dry seasonings together in a small bowl. In a separate measuring cup, combine the peanut sauce, coconut milk, and broth, giving it a good stir. Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally, then gently pound them until they’re about half an inch thick. Toss the chicken pieces with the oil in a medium bowl, making sure they’re nicely coated, then sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over them.

Step 2

Heat a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until it’s really hot. Add the chicken and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown and cooked through. Once done, transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes.

Step 3

Pour the peanut sauce mixture into the same skillet. Cook it over medium heat, stirring constantly and scraping up any browned bits from the pan, until the sauce thickens and reduces by about half—this should take around 2 to 4 minutes. Pour the sauce back into the measuring cup. (If you want, you can make the chicken and sauce up to 2 hours ahead and just warm them up before serving.)

Step 4

When you’re ready to eat, cut each chicken piece into 12 to 15 bite-sized chunks. Arrange them on a serving platter, drizzle with some of the peanut sauce, and sprinkle with chopped peanuts and sliced scallions. Serve right away with toothpicks and the remaining sauce on the side for dipping.
