Thai culture has been influenced primarily by animism - a belief that non human entities possess a spiritual essence. Chicken in a peanut sauce is a Thai dish which can be quite spicy.
For this not so spicy brainy gourmet version, you will need to buy boneless skinless chicken breast meat. If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken with tofu curds or even a firm white fish and including any shellfish. Today, I am using chicken. First, saute one whole onion and one green pepper in coconut oil and olive oil sprinkled with red pepper flakes, garlic powder, sea salt and dried herbs: rosemary, mint and oregano.
When brown, add your chunk cut chicken breast meat. Brown the meat on high, stirring occasionally. Turn down the heat to med. and add 1/3 cup of apricot nectar. Cover and simmer on med. heat until it starts to bubble up nicely. Then stir in 1 tbs of organic peanut butter, continue to stir until it is melted into the hot sauce/chicken. As a finale, toss in as many peeled raw 'not roasted' and unsalted peanuts as you like.
As a side dish, prepare a mix of brown rice and buckwheat groats. Ladle the rice and groats onto a large low lipped serving dish and top with your chicken in peanut sauce. Put fresh lime on the table and if you like some chopped cilantro or other green parsley.
Voila~
