Ingredients

Coconut Curry Sauce:

Chicken:

  • 8 ounces high-fiber whole-wheat linguine, (recommended: DeCecco)
  • Olive oil cooking spray
  • 1 Vidalia or other sweet onion, chopped
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, fat removed, cut into small pieces
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1 cup thinly sliced roasted red peppers
  • 1 cup thinly sliced water chestnuts
  • 1 cup scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
  • Chopped fresh mint and cilantro leaves, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Directions

For the sauce: In a medium bowl, combine all of the sauce ingredients, whisk until thoroughly combined and set aside.

For the chicken: Cook the whole-wheat linguine al dente according to box directions. Drain and rinse under cold water and spray lightly with olive oil cooking spray so it does not stick and set aside.

Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and add onion. Cook until translucent and beginning to brown, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper and stir in curry powder. Saute chicken until lightly brown. Add the peanut butter and allow it to melt to coat the chicken.

Add the roasted red peppers, water chestnuts and scallions and season with salt and pepper as you like. Saute for a few minutes just to release flavor.

Pour the coconut milk sauce over the chicken and vegetables and stir gently. Cook just until warmed through and thickened a bit, about 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, as needed. Garnish with chopped mint and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges, if desired.

SUZY'S SERVING OPTIONS: (Serves 4 or more – can be doubled easily)

Family Style – Put linguine in a large deep platter or decorative bowl and pour mixture over the top. Toss gently with tongs. Garnish with fresh lime juice, and chopped scallions or herbs.

Low Carb Diets – On a large dinner plate place Boston lettuce leaves in a fan covering the entire plate. Place 1/4 of the chicken mixture on top and drizzle with fresh lime juice and garnish with scallions. The sauce will form a natural salad dressing for the lettuce.

Individual Plates: Each serving is 2 ounces dry pasta and 1/4 of the chicken mixture. Garnish it with fresh lime juice, a lime wedge and scallions or herbs. Serve it on a small exotic plate for added presentation.

NOTE: You may substitute shrimp or tofu for the chicken and it is equally delicious!

    I loved this recipe! I used a panang curry paste, as that is my favorite. I must admit that I used slightly less curry in the recipe than called for because I ran out. The amount of Ginger seemed just fine. If you want to cut down the heat then reduce or eliminate the red pepper. But I like hot, so I loved this dish. Linguini or rice, this dish is satisfying and I think it's the peanut butter that makes it!

    Indian and Thai are my favorite cuisines so I tried this with much anticipation. Just plain wrong. Didn't have the freshness of Thai and wasn't Indian. Being single, I ate half of it and didn't get back to the second half - strange behavior for me and Asian food. Was somewhat relieved to see that it picked up some mold so I could send it down the food disposal. While I'll retry cooking most dishes, this one doesn't seem to have the basics for me to even consider retrying it. Oh well. . .
