Servings: persons

1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
2 tablespoons Thai chili garlic sauce (Sriracha), or to taste
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cayenne pepper, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/2 pound uncooked spaghetti
1 tablespoon peanut oil
2 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch cubes
3 1/2 cups water
2 cups extra chunky peanut butter
4 green onions, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup chow mein noodles

1
Combine curry powder, Thai chili garlic sauce, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, and soy sauce in a small bowl, and set aside. Fill a saucepan with water, and bring it to a boil. When the water is boiling, drop in the spaghetti and cook for 8 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Drain the spaghetti, and set aside.
2
Heat peanut oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat until barely smoking, and drop in the chicken. Cook and stir 5 to 8 minutes, until the chicken is just beginning to brown and the inside is no longer pink. Remove chicken from the skillet, and set aside.
3
Make the peanut sauce by stirring together peanut butter and 3 1/2 cups of water in a saucepan over medium heat until mixture is smooth and the peanut butter is melted. Pour in the curry-chili sauce, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened, about 15 minutes.
4
To serve, place the noodles in a large bowl, top with chicken, and spoon the peanut sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle the green onions over the dish, and garnish with chow mein noodles.
