Thai Chicken in Peanut Sauce recipie cause someone asked :)

Gastric Bypass Friendly Thai Chicken with Peanut Sauce

2 boneless skinless chicken breast or thighs, cut in cubes

1.5 cups various veggies, Broccoli, zuchinni, mushrooms, carrots, onion.

In a saute pan, place a tablespoon of seseme oil, or your favorite oil. When its good and hot, toss in the chicken and saute until half way done. Add a teaspoon of salt over the chicken and a teaspoon of chinese 5 spice. Toss the veggies in the order of densness, brocolli first, mushrooms last. When almost done prepare the sauce.

2 oz Lime Juice

½ cup water

2 tablespoon Chunky Peanut Butter*

2 green onions chopped

3 cloves garlic chopped

1 tablespoon asian chili sauce

¼ cup half and half ( optional. Good, but adds a bit o fat )

½ packet of splenda

Remove the chicken and veggies and deglaze pan with lime juice, add water and peanut butter. Whisk together until smooth. Add remaining ingrediants. Add chicken and veggies back and simmer for 5 minutes until done.

For the members of the family that can, serve on a bed of rice or rice noodles. Honestly, I ate mostly the chicken, and it was great. I never missed the noodles or rice.

*if you need to lower the fat even farther, there is peanut powder available that removes most of the fat. And it tastes great!

DROOLING!!!!!  OMG that sounds good!

I absolutely love Asian food and thought I had to give it up for ever.  (Lot's of hidden fat when you order out)  Thai Chicken is one of my favorites!  Thank you so much for your post.  As soon as I'm on solid food again, this may be my first meal.

Do ya have to use the splenda? I wanna try this sometime but the hubby hates oriental.

No i did it with no sugar of any kind, but when I reworked it for the non bypassers, i used about a teaspoon of sugar and it made a huge difference.  However it is still very good without it. :)

Ok, I will put a tad of sugar in and half the recipe.

Yum!  Thanks for the recipe!  We should do this more often!

I promise to try this sometime next week!

I will replace the chicken with tofu...HOW YUMMYY!!!!!!!!  Thanks.

YUMMY! I am making that this week. Back in November, I decided to try Pad Thai. One of my favorite dishes. It was a disaster. The lapband hated it and it didn't stay with me long. I love the combination of flavors. Your recipe definitely has that combo in it. -- Tom
