Sprinkle with the remaining green onion and coriander to serve.

Makes 4 servings.

This recipe has a nice, well rounded flavor profile (fancy way of saying it tastes great!). I love the mix of garlic, always a favorite ingredient of mine in just about anything except dessert, ginger and peanut butter. The sesame oil adds a definite Asian touch.

If you don’t have coriander or parsley, don’t worry about it. They are just used as a garnish, and although they do add a lot of nice flavor, you can easily omit them and still have a great dish.

I would serve this Thai chicken recipe with Asian sesame noodles and some stir fried vegetables.

This recipe is gluten free if you make sure your soy sauce and hosin sauce are gluten free. Not all are.
