Phanaeng ( Panang) Curry Chicken with Bell Pepper

Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock.  - Isaiah 26:4

This is a lovely Thai dish!

Panang is also a correct pronunciation.

It's spicy, sweet and so flavorful.

It can very made with beef, chicken, pork or shrimp. 

I cheated and used a ready made sauce which I jazzed up.

4 large Chicken tenderloins, silver piece removed and cut into small chunks, seasoned with season salt and basil 

Clarified butter for sautéing  

1 c bell pepper, cut into thin strips ( I used green) 

1 t basil

Panang curry sauce (Tantara brand)

1/4 t black strap molasses 

1/4 t toasted sesame oil

1/4 t sumac

1 t Honey

Salt to taste

Sauté chicken and pepper in clarified butter.

This took maybe 5-7 minutes.

Add 1/2 of the bottle of sauce.

Add the rest of ingredients.

Serve over rice.

Unconventional Cinnamon Roll Waffles

16 The king is not saved by his great army; a warrior is not delivered by his great strength. 

17 The war horse is a false hope for salvation, and by its great might it cannot rescue. 

18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love, 

19 that he may deliver their soul from death and keep them alive in famine. 

20 Our soul waits for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. 

21 For our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name. 

22 Let your steadfast love, O LORD, be upon us, even as we hope in you.  - Psalm 33:16-22
