Instructions

1Combine the peanut butter, coconut cream, Thai red curry paste, soy sauce, brown sugar, fish sauce, and apple cider vinegar in a medium bowl, whisking until smooth and fully incorporated.
2Heat a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown on the exterior (internal temperature does not need to reach 165°F yet).
3Pour the peanut sauce over the seared chicken, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F when checked with a meat thermometer.
4Add the fresh spinach to the pot in the final 2–3 minutes of cooking, stirring gently until completely wilted.
5Shred or cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces directly in the pot, then stir to combine with the sauce.
6Divide the chicken and sauce evenly into 8 airtight containers while hot, leaving ½ inch headspace at the top.
7Top each portion with fresh basil, raw peanuts, and red pepper flakes just before serving, or pack these garnishes separately in small containers to add at meal time.
