Spicy Peanut Chicken Rice Bowl

[heart_this] · Jan 11, 2013 · 22 Comments

Spicy Peanut Chicken Rice Bowl

Moist and tender chicken braised in a tasty Thai style spicy peanut sauce served in rice bowls with a fried egg and plenty of fresh herbs.

A while ago I made some sweet chili chicken rice bowls and they got me thinking that spicy peanut chicken rice bowls would also be really tasty! I wanted to keep things relatively simple so I braised the chicken in some of my favourite Thai spicy peanut sauce all day and shredded it before using it in the rice bowl along with the sauce that it was cooked in. The rest of the rice bowls consist of cooked rice, a fried egg, steamed spinach, fresh herbs and crispy fried shallots making for a light and tasty meal in a bowl that is just packed with flavour. If you have a rice cooker you can make things easier by setting it to have the rice cooked when the chicken is done and then all that is left is frying the eggs and steaming the spinach.
Tip: Make a double batch of the spicy peanut sauce and cook some extra chicken for use in some tasty spicy peanut chicken quesadillas Spicy Peanut Chicken Rice Bowl
Although the rice bowls look better when freshly assembled, they taste better with all of the flavours mixed up!

    Hi Kevin, what kind of rice would you recommend for this?

    I tried something a little different… I used a Basmati rice which was prefried with Pineapple. It turned out damn delicious. Just wanted to know if you had a recommendation on how to prep the rice or what kind of precooked rice to use.

    Chris @ Spekko: I like basmati, jasmine or short grained rice for these.
