I came across this recipe that had the name "Ray" written at the top of it. The whole recipe was actually handwritten and the writing looks very familiar but I'm not sure who, in my family, that it belongs to quite yet. But that's what I love, a hand written recipe, a name to attach to it and the stories just start to formulate in my mind as to when, where and how this recipe came to be in the file! Uncle Ray was my Mom's brother and he died many years ago. I love that I have this recipe to remember him by!
Indonesian Chicken Tidbits has an assortment of ingredients that sound very intriguing put together: peanut butter, curry, honey, milk and the most shocking to me.... MAYO!?!?!
But I was game, especially with how easy it was to throw together and get this... you cook it in the house, in the oven, under the broiler in about 20 minutes!
The boys and I enjoyed this recipe and I hope you'll be adventurous and it give it a try as well! If you want to make it a bit more fancy/party presentable, thread the chicken onto skewers AFTER it's cooked and serve on a bed of rice.
Indonesian Chicken Tidbits
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts; cut into pieces (about 1 1/2 in)
1/3 c creamy peanut butter
1/2 tsp curry powder
dash or so of salt
2 Tbs honey
2/3 cup mayo
1/4 cup milk
Blend together all the ingredients except the chicken.
Line one large or 2 medium jellyroll pans with foil and spray with non-stick spray.
Add the PB mixture TO THE chicken pieces (not all of it, as you can save some of the sauce to dip the chicken into after it is cooked) and stir to coat.
Separate the chicken out onto the pan and broil for 10 minutes on one side. Watch closely, it may be a minute or two more or less depending on the strength of your broiler!
Take the pan out, flip the chicken pieces and then broil again for about 8-10 minutes- if you think they need it, you could brush more of the sauce onto the chicken before popping them back into the oven.
Serve on skewers or just like this!
We had ours with shelled edamame and pineapple.
