2. Ingredients for Thai Satay Stuffed Sweet Potato
- 2 sweet potatoes
- Cooking spray
- 2 tsp canola oil
- 1 red pepper (1 cup)
- 1 green peppers (1 cup)
- 1 skinless boneless chicken breast (1 cup)
- ¼ creamy peanut butter
- ⅔ cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 2 tbsp Thai red curry paste
- 2 tsp fish sauce
- 2 tsp brown sugar
- ⅛ tsp cayenne (optional)
- Cilantro
- 2 tbsp chopped peanuts
3. Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400℉ (200℃).
- Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil, and spray with cooking spray.
- Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise, and lay the halves flat on the sheet pan.
- Insert the sheet pan into the oven and bake for 35 minutes or until soft. Allow to cool.
- While the sweet potatoes are baking, slice the peppers into thin strips roughly 1 cm or ½ an inch thick.
- Place a medium non-stick pan on the stove, and add the canola oil to the pan.
- Turn the stove on to medium heat and add the peppers to the pan. Stir-fry the peppers until they begin to brown.
- Add the chicken to the pan and continue to stir-fry until browned all over.
- Turn the heat down to low. Pour the coconut milk, red curry paste, brown sugar, fish sauce, peanut butter and cayenne into the pan. Simmer for another minute or so until the sauce is heated through.
- Return to the cooled baked sweet potatoes. Using a spoon, scoop out roughly half of the flesh to create a ‘boat’.
- Spoon the chicken curry mixture into the sweet potato boats.
- Garnish with chopped peanuts and cilantro.
