Thai Chicken Breasts

Recipe #108105 | 35 min | 10 min prep | SERVES 4 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: MarieAlice

This recipe actually calls for Breasts, but I used thighs and they were moist and lucious! Goes well with steamed Basamati Rice.

    What a great recipe!! I didn't add the crushed pepper ('cause I'm a wimp) or fish sauce (didn't have any), used snow peas (more than a cup), and it was still just lovely. I cut back on the brown sugar a bit and served it with jasmine rice. I'll definitely be making this one again - quick, easy, and, oh, so tasty!!

    This was really tasty!! The only reason I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars is because I thought the flavors had a more Asian/Chinese flavor than Thai...other than that, they were great!

    -=Public Service Announcement=- If you come across this recipe - MAKE IT! MarieAlice - 5 stars are not enough! It is the perfect blend of sweet and sour. Impressive to serve and easy to prepare. I made the recipe with chicken breasts and served it over Pandan rice. The only replacement I made was with the white wine vinegar - I substituted that with my own homemade Ginger Vinegar. There is not much more I can say about this recipe except that is was just delicious and will become a standard dish made in our kitchen.

    Wow, this was delicious. We'd give this 10 stars if we could! DH and I loved the combination of flavours. We used chicken thighs and served it with Japanese rice, green onions and sesame seeds instead of the snap peas. Next time I will double the sauce so that there's extra! Thanks for posting!
