Peanut Chicken


Ingredients:

1 tsp olive oil
1 onion, peeled and chopped
3 chicken breasts, chopped into bite sized chunks
1 heaped tbsp. ground coriander
1 chicken/veg oxo cube or (1 heaped tsp vegetable bouillon if gluten free)
2 heaped tbsp. peanut butter (check if you need it to be gluten free, it usually is though)
Juice of 2 limes
1 red chilli, chopped finely
300ml boiling water
200g green beans, ends chopped off and sliced into short lengths

To Serve:
Boiled Rice
Chopped fresh chiilies
Chopped Coriander
A blob of Sweet Chilli Jam also tastes great!

Directiolns:

1. Heat the oil in a large pan that has a lid, add in the onions and cook gently for a couple of minutes until soft and translucent.  Turn up the heat and add in the chicken, cook for a couple of minutes until sealed and then stir through the ground coriander and oxo/bouillon.  Cook for another minute, then add in the peanut butter, juice of one of the limes, the chopped chilli and boiling water.  Give everything a stir, then put the lid on, and leave to bubble gently on a low/medium heat for 10 minutes.
2. Add in the green beans and the remaining lime juice.  Give everything a stir, and leave to cook for another 5 minutes with the lid off.  You can add a splash of water if it’s starting to look too dry.
3. Serve with rice, and sprinkle with chopped chillies (or Sweet Chilli Jam ) and coriander.

Note: If you’re serving with rice, start the rice at the same time you put the onions on so everything will be ready at the same time.
