  This is my absolute favorite. I usually make this without the chiles and use boneless chicken breast and serve with white rice.

   

  Caramelized Black Pepper Chicken

   

  INGREDIENTS:

  1. 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  2. About 1/4 cup fish sauce (nam pla)
  3. 1/4 cup water
  4. 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  5. 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  6. 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
  7. 1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
  8. 2 fresh Thai chiles, halved, or dried red chiles
  9. 1 tablespoon canola oil
  10. 1 shallot, thinly sliced
  11. 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  12. 4 cilantro sprigs

  DIRECTIONS:

  1. In a small bowl, combine the sugar, fish sauce, water, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, pepper and chiles.
  2. Heat the oil in a large deep skillet. Add the shallot and cook over moderate heat until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the fish sauce mixture and the chicken and simmer over high heat until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with the cilantro and serve.

  We make tacos and pasta once a week.  For tacos - we'll do refried or black beans or if we do meat, we'll do a bean salad - fresh veggies w/cilantro and salsa plus avocado - yum!  You can mix up what types of cheese you do too.

  For pasta - we rarely do tomato sauce.  We'll saute some garlic and veggies (mushrooms, tomatoes, greens of some kind) in olive oil and throw that over whole wheat pasta (the 365 brand at Whole Foods is my favorite) and serve with a side salad.  Sometimes we'll add chicken sausage or beans or shrimp.

  Another easy recipe is to use polenta instead of pasta.
