The ingredients for Spicy Chicken Peanut Pasta (Sauce) are:

2 lbs (1 kg) chicken thighs-with skin and bones (about 1 lb/500g prepared meat)
1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
1 cup (250 mL) chicken broth
2 tbsp (30 mL) honey
1 tbsp (15 mL) soy sauce
1/4 cup (50 mL) peanut butter-smooth or chunky
1 tbsp (15 mL) corn starch
1 tsp (5 mL) ground ginger
1/2 tsp (2 mL) hot pepper flakes
2 green onions (scallions), sliced
2 cloves garlic, squished
1 green or red pepper, thinly sliced

Here is how you make Spicy Chicken Peanut Pasta (Sauce):

Skin the chicken thighs, remove the bones, and cut the meat up into 1/2-inch (1 cm) pieces. (Don't measure, just cut it up however it comes off the bone.) Discard the skin and bones, or save them for soup.Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet, add the chicken chunks and cook them over high heat until lightly browned-5 to 7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan.In a bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, honey, soy sauce, peanut butter, ginger and hot pepper flakes. Pour this mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened and smooth. In a small bowl or cup, whisk the corn starch and 1 tbsp of cold water together with a fork until there are no lumps. Slowly, but continuously, whisk the corn starch mixture into the skillet. Add the green onions, garlic, and green or red pepper, and cook for another couple of minutes. Return the chicken pieces (and any juice from it) to the pan and simmer the mixture for 2 or 3 minutes, until heated through.Serve over hot, cooked pasta-thin spaghetti or linguine is good. Makes enough for 4 servings of pasta.Note: Increase or decrease the amount of hot pepper flakes to adjust the spiciness.Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user FITGIRL83.
