Chicken Satay Stew

March 4, 2010 by Faith 31 Comments

It’s fun to take a traditional recipe and use the same components and flavors to turn it into a completely different form of itself.  Like hamburger pizza or taco soup.  Or even cake pops.  My mom and I have been making this Chicken Satay Stew together for about 10 years.  I don’t remember where the original recipe came from, but I do know that it’s been adjusted and altered throughout the years so that we both agreed that this final version is pretty much the best we’ve ever made.

(Yield:  6 to 8 servings)

 

1 to 1 1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed

1 TB olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 TB fresh grated ginger or 1/2 tsp dry ginger powder

1/2 tsp to 2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (depending on how spicy you like it)

2 medium onions, chopped

4 large carrots, chopped

4 large stalks celery, chopped

2 c unsweetened pumpkin puree

1/2 c mango nectar

1/2 c lemon juice

2/3 c smooth peanut butter

2 c chicken stock

1 to 2 TB rice vinegar (depending on how tangy you like it)

1/2 c heavy cream

1 TB cornstarch

1/2 c minced fresh cilantro or parsley, plus more for garnish if desired

Salt and pepper

Peanuts, chopped (optional, for garnish)

 

In a large pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat; add the chicken and cook until you don’t see any pink (about 5 minutes).  Add the garlic, ginger, and pepper flakes and sauté 2 minutes.  Add the onion, carrot, celery, pumpkin, mango nectar, lemon juice, peanut butter, chicken stock, and 2 c of water.  Cover the pot, bring it up to a simmer, then turn the heat down and let it simmer about 30 minutes (stirring occasionally), until the veggies are tender and the chicken is cooked through. 

 

Dissolve the cornstarch in the cream.  Stir the vinegar into the stew, then stir in the cream mixture; simmer uncovered about 5 minutes, until the stew is thickened.  Turn off the heat and stir in the parsley.  Season to taste with salt and pepper. 

 

Serve the stew garnished with chopped peanuts and parsley.  You can serve this stew alongside jasmine rice, if desired.

    Thank you all for your sweet comments…if you like chicken satay, you should really give this stew a try! ;)

    Nicole – I find mango nectar in the international aisle at my regular grocery store, but I bet you could find it at WF also. I can’t believe I won, thank you so much!!!

    Peanut Butter, Pumpkin and Cream….all together in one meal. I love this idea. I have never tried this combo and I know I would love it. A full meal in one bowl. Got any left for us??

    Mmmm…that sounds delicious! It would be the perfect recipe for me to use up my remaining stock of canned pumpkin I hoarded during ‘the great pumpkin shortage.’

    P.S. Did you see that you most closely guessed my calories burned gardening?? Send me your address if you’d like that Chobani coupon!

    I totally know what you mean! Except I tend to focus more on dessert combos like the cake pops you mentioned, or cinnamon roll sugar cookies, or cinnabon popcorn. Awesomeness. I don’t even know what a satay is, that’s how “regular food”-ignorant I am! I’m pretty pro in the baking department, but pretty clueless with regular food. I’m new to spreading my wings in that area. Anyway, this looks fabulous!!! Girl, you must have some awesome lighting in your living space b/c your pics are always perfect.
