Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment – Thai party incoming!
- Pop stems off mushrooms and scoop a little extra space – more room for peanutty goodness!
- Arrange caps hollow-side up and bake 8–10 minutes to release moisture.
- While they bake, heat a large skillet over medium and cook ground chicken, breaking it into tiny pieces until just no longer pink.
- Add peanut butter, coconut milk, lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes; stir until creamy and thick (2–3 min).
- Remove from heat, stir in lime zest and half the cilantro – taste it (you’ll want to eat it with a spoon).
- Take mushrooms out, blot any liquid, and let cool 2 minutes.
- Generously spoon the peanut-chicken mixture into each cap – pile it high!
- Bake 10–12 minutes until mushrooms are tender and filling is bubbling hot.
- Rest 5 minutes, then shower with crushed peanuts and remaining cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and extra peanut sauce – watch them vanish!
Notes
Naturally low-carb (≈4g net carbs each) and gluten-free when using tamari/fish sauce without wheat. The filling can be made 48 hours ahead – stuff and bake when ready.
