Ingredients:
1 lb chicken breast tenders
½ cup lite coconut milk
1½ tbsp Thai red curry paste
1 tbsp Thai Fish Sauce or low-sodium soy sauce
Cucumber Salad:
1½ cucumbers, halved, thinly sliced
1 pc red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
3/4 cup panko crumbs
1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tbsp sugar
½ tsp salt
Peanut Sauce:
½ cup lite coconut milk
2 tbsp crunchy peanut butter
2 tbsp coarsely chopped lightly salted roasted peanuts
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp Thai fish sauce or low-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
2 tsp Thai red curry paste
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. For the chicken fingers, whisk together 1/2 cup coconut milk, 11/2 tablespoons curry paste and 1 tablespoon fish sauce or soy sauce in a shallow dish. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover and chill 15 minutes. Drain chicken, discarding liquid.
3. For the salad, whisk the 1/3 cup lime juice, salt and sugar together in medium bowl. Place cucumbers and red pepper in large bowl. Add dressing and toss to coat. Set aside.
4. Place the panko crumbs in shallow bowl. Dredge the chicken in the crumbs to coat both sides. Spread oil evenly in a jellyroll pan, and arrange chicken in a single layer in pan. Bake, turning halfway through, for 15 minutes, or until lightly browned and cooked through.
5. For the sauce, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/2 cup coconut milk, peanut butter, brown sugar, 2 teaspoons curry paste and 1 tablespoon fish sauce or soy sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook, whisking constantly, for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon lime juice.
6. To serve, sprinkle the peanuts over the cucumber salad and serve with the chicken fingers and peanut sauce.
