Coconut Curry Thai Chicken


Ingredients
Coconut Curry Sauce:

* 1(13.5-ounce) can light coconut milk
* 1 tablespoon Thai curry paste
* 2 tablespoons curry powder
* 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
* 3 cloves garlic, minced
* Dash cayenne pepper
* Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Chicken:

* 8 ounces high-fiber whole wheat linguine, (recommended: DeCecco)
* Olive oil cooking spray
* 1 vidalia 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 onions. 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 curry 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.
