Thai Chicken with Peanut Sauce

Thai Chicken with Peanut Sauce

• 2 teaspoons light or dark brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 teaspoon salt (would cut this down next time)
  
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 cup prepared Thai peanut sauce
• 1/2 cup light coconut milk
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped peanuts
• 2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions

Cube chicken breasts and toss with spices. Saute until cooked through. Remove from pan.

Mix peanut sauce (I used Peanut Satay Sauce from the Asian Market) with coconut milk and chicken broth. Add to pan and cook for approximately 5 minutes until sauce has thickened.

We put the chicken on rice and then poured on the sauce. We didn't have chopped peanuts and forgot about the scallions. It was delicious!!

Quick Oatmeal Raisin Pancakes

Quick Oatmeal Raisin Pancakes (from Healthy Cooking)

Notes from mom: I used the buttermilk powder from the bulk food store, and that worked good. I also reduced the fat count because I forgot to put the egg and oil in after the oats soaked in the buttermilk, and they were still really good pancakes!

2 cups quick cooking oats
2 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup egg substitute
2 Tbsp. canola oil
1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup raisins

In a small bowl, combine oats and buttermilk; let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in egg subtitute and oil; set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Stir in the wet ingredients just until moistened; add raisens.

Pour batter by heaping 1/4 cupfuls onto a hot griddle coated with cooking spray; turn when bubbles form on top. Cook until second side is golden brown.

Makes 12 pancakes. Serving size 2 pancakes = 7 grams fat.
