Preparation
Make the smashed cucumber salad
- Place the onions in a strainer and rinse under cold water.
- Halve the cucumbers lengthwise; smash until slightly flattened. Cut into large chunks.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cucumbers, onions, ½ the lime juice, ½ the brown sugar, a drizzle of oil and S&P.
Toast the peanuts
- In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium.
- Add the peanuts and toast, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until lightly browned and fragrant.
- Transfer to a bowl. Wipe out and reserve the pan.
Cook the chicken
- Pat the chicken dry; season with S&P. In a second medium bowl, toss with ½ the curry paste and ½ the remaining lime juice.
- In the reserved pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the chicken* and cook, partially covered, 2 to 3 min. per side, until cooked through.
Warm the rice & make the sauce
- Meanwhile, poke a few small holes in the bag of rice. Microwave, 1 to 1 ½ min., until heated through.
- In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter, ½ the peanuts, the remaining lime juice, curry paste and brown sugar, and 1 tbsp water (double for 4 portions).
Finish & serve
- To the bowl of cucumbers, add the remaining peanuts; stir well.
- Divide the rice between your plates.
- Top with the chicken and smashed cucumber salad.
- Drizzle the sauce over the chicken. Bon appétit!
