A delicious and easy-to-make Thai-inspired chicken dish with a creamy peanut sauce, perfect for any occasion.
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk and ground ginger, stirring until well mixed.
Using fresh ginger enhances the flavor, but ground ginger works well for convenience.
Heat the mixture over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
Stir occasionally to prevent the coconut milk from scorching.
Add the chicken pieces to the saucepan and cook until they are fully cooked, about 7 minutes.
Cut the chicken into even pieces to ensure uniform cooking.
Remove the chicken from the saucepan using a slotted spoon and set aside.
Cover the chicken to keep it warm while preparing the sauce.
To the saucepan, add the peanut butter, red curry paste, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more curry paste for spice or sugar for sweetness.
Return the chicken to the saucepan and cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
Ensure the chicken is well coated with the sauce for maximum flavor.
Arrange the spinach on serving plates and spoon the chicken and sauce over the top.
Garnish with roasted peanuts for added crunch and flavor.
Serve immediately with your choice of steamed rice or noodles.
For a complete meal, pair with a light Thai salad or spring rolls.
