I served it over rice with a side salad of coleslaw. I always put some chopped up veggies in my rice and when I went to the frig yesterday the veggie bin looked pretty sad. No celery, carrots all gone, lettuce ew not in rice, cabbage nope don't think so. So in the end all I had to throw into the rice was a chopped up tomato and some chopped onion, some garlic and a little ginger. I always cook my rice in chicken stock to give it some flavor.
Here is the chicken recipe, try it and see if you like it. Sorry no picture, never thought of it and it is all gone now.
THAI HONEY PEANUT CHICKEN
1 lb. chicken cut in cubes
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 - 2 Tbs. honey
1 Tbs. lime juice
1 tsp. garlic (yah right like I measure my garlic)
1 Tbs. peanut butter (I used crunchy because that is what I had)
1/2 tsp. curry powder (didn't have, threw in a bunch of chili con limon powder)
1 tsp. sriracha (optional) (don't have so didn't use)
Mix ingredients and marinate chicken in the marinade for 2 to 3 hrs.
The recipe says to cook the chicken in the sauce for 7 to 8 minutes or until cooked. I like to make sure my chicken is cooked well so I drained it and cooked it and then added the sauce back in and reduced it until it was the consistency I wanted. I pretty much doubled more or less the marinade ingredients as I like lots of sauce for my rice.
It says you can add pre -cooked veggies if you want and heat through. I didn't.
Serve topped with sesame seeds.
Thicken sauce if desired with cornstarch. (I just reduced it).
By now I am sure that you have figured out that I pretty much don't measure a lot and kind of fly by the seat of my pants when cooking. When baking I do use measuring units.
Anyway even with my additions, deletions and substitutions it was pretty good. Not sure how it would taste with the actual ingredients; but try it and see.
On our scale of "keep recipe/make it again" it was a keeper.

Sounds great Theresa. How come you didn't have veggies in your frig? What I do is buy the veggies I'm going to use in a weeks time. When I'm close to running out, I dash to the store which is a hop, skip, and a jump away. Of course in the summer, it's to the garden I go and pick the good home grown veggies. We've got winter veggies growing right now. Glad you enjoyed your home cooked meal. Enjoy the rest of the weekend. Take care and thx for the recipe.
Teresa: yes, it was good and simple to make also which is nice.
Gloria: I didn't have many veggies in the frig. as I had been too busy doing other stuff to go and do my shopping. I did have tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce, onions, potatoes on hand; but was out of carrots, broccoli,celery, beets, spinach and stuff like that. Just didn't have what I wanted to put in the rice that day thats all. We were not starving lol; I was just being choosy.
Have a good weekend.
made it tonight although i was in a hurry and didn't have time to marinade. i browned the chicken then cooked it in the sauce and according to my son, it was EXCEPTIONAL! i loved it too and it was so quick and easy, like you said. i don't even know what that last ing. is so i did not have it. i don't measure garlic either, i always put in more than recipes call for.
thanks for sharing the recipe.
