Description

Coconut rice, bright ginger slaw, and a quick peanut chicken using Trader Joe’s peanut satay sauce! 


Ingredients

Units Scale

Peanut Chicken

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup Trader Joe’s Peanut Satay Sauce (more for serving)
  • 1 clove garlic, grated (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil

Ginger Slaw

  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ginger paste (or grated fresh ginger)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (more to taste)
  • 4-5 cups shredded purple cabbage, very thinly sliced on a mandoline (about half of a head of cabbage)
  • 1 shallot, very thinly sliced on a mandoline (optional, but I like it in there!)

Coconut Rice

  • 2 cups jasmine rice
  • 1 14-ounce can coconut milk
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prep Chicken: Mix the chicken with peanut sauce, garlic, and salt. Let it rest for 15-30 minutes while you prep the other ingredients.
  2. Coconut Rice: Rinse the rice under cold running water. Add to a saucepan with water, coconut milk, and salt; bring to a low simmer. Cover with a lid, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove lid; fluff rice with a fork.
  3. Ginger Slaw: Stir the vinegar, sugar, ginger, and salt together in a large bowl. Add shredded cabbage and shallots; massage with your hands for a few minutes to tenderize the cabbage.
  4. Cook Chicken: Heat the avocado oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken and stir fry, moving around in the pan to prevent burning, for a few minutes until fully cooked.
  5. Serve: Place the coconut rice in a bowl, top with peanut chicken, and pile that slaw on top. Spoon extra peanut sauce over the chicken. Add cilantro, crispy shallots, and/or chili crisp to finish it off!
