Expert Tips

Fresh gingerroot can be wrapped tightly and frozen for up to 4 months. Grate it straight from the freezer as needed.

Serve with hot cooked rice that has been made with canned coconut milk (not cream of coconut) instead of water. Stir in a dash of ground turmeric for a rich golden color. Add a side salad of sliced cucumbers drizzled with vinaigrette and sprinkled with chopped red onion for a true Thai-inspired meal.

I tried this and must have done something wrong (although I followed the recipe - just replaced the chicken with chicken breasts)....the peanut butter burned and didn't look anything like the pictures! I scraped off the peanut butter mixture and ate the chicken though....not too bad. Not something that I want to try again though.

Very tasty! The sauce was a little too thick for my liking and I thinned it out the next day for the leftovers. But the chicken came out very moist and delicious. I will definitely make this again.
