Spicy Thai Chicken and Quinoa

Nguyên liệu

• 1/2 cup Thai style chili sauce (see notes)
• 1/2 cup water or chicken broth
• 1/4 cup agave or honey
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken thighs
• 2 cups uncooked quinoa
• chopped peanuts, cilantro, and chili flakes for topping

Cách làm

1. 1

   Whisk all the sauce ingredients together. Set aside about 1/2 cup sauce to marinade the chicken. In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the sauce to a boil and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 30 minutes or so until the sauce has thickened.

2. 2

   Cook according to package directions.

3. 3

   Place the chicken in a bag or bowl with the reserved 1/2 cup sauce to marinate. Return to the refrigerator and let it all hang out for 30 minutes or so, while the sauce thickens. Shake off excess marinade and transfer to a hot grill pan or skillet. Let the chicken cook for a few minutes on each side, until no longer pink, brushing periodically with the thickened sauce.

4. 4

   Plate the quinoa on a large platter and top with the chicken. Brush the whole thing with extra sauce. Sprinkle with cilantro, peanuts, and chili flakes.
