I don't claim to be a great cook or to have any original recipes. I love collecting new and interesting recipes and I especially love all my old favorites that I have used over the years. Many recipes are from family and friends and I love them because every time I use them I am reminded of that person and/or some great memories that are attached. I am using this format to begin to put all my recipes in one place. I have attempted this in many different ways but none have been very successful. I am hoping that this will do the trick. Right now for recipes I reference a few different cookbooks, a small 3x5 card box, and a large plastic tub with loose papers. Not a great system. This is my new leaf. Ideally, every day I can put at least one of my recipes into this blog. This will make it so easy and quick for me to refer to and also to share my favorites with friends and family who ask for recipes.

Thai Chicken

Ingredients:
2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp. olive oil,

1 tbsp. olive oil
1 medium onion
1 minced garlic clove

1 tsp. coriander
1/2 cup sweet hot oriental chili sauce
1 tsp. cumin
2 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. fish sauce
2 tsp. grated fresh ginger
2 tbsp. smooth peanut butter
1 tbsp. lime juice

14 oz. can coconut milk (you can use light if you want, or evaporated milk)

Directions:
Cut chicken in strips, heat oil in large frying pan and brown
until cooked through. Set aside.

Saute the next 3 items until tender. Add the next 9 ingredients
and heat through. Add the can of coconut milk and stir to
blend.

Add chicken and simmer.

Penny Saver Version: Use cheaper cut of chicken and bone
yourself. Replace olive oil with vegetable oil. Use garlic
powder and ginger spice. Use evaporated milk instead of
coconut milk.

Casserole Method: Brown chicken and set aside. Saute
onion, garlic. Blend in rest. Place chicken in covered
casserole and pour sauce over. Cook 1 hour at 375F. Add
lime juice just before serving.

Description:
This is super easy and one of our new favorites. I added red
peppers and pea pods to ours.
