Basil Chicken with Coconut-Curry Sauce

I got this recipe out of my Better Homes and Gardens cookbook, and I'd pay money to know why it has the title it does instead of, say, Curry Chicken in Basil-Coconut Sauce. Or Basil Coconut Curry Sauce for Chicken. Anyway. Suffice it to say that I (and 2 of my kids) thought this was a big hit. I think I might even choose it for my birthday meal, it's that good.

Cut 4 chicken breast halves into 1" pieces. In a bowl, combine the following:
2 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp chili powder
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the chicken, tossing to coat evenly. Cover and chill for 1-2 hours. (Or 10 minutes if you're like me.)

1 large onion, diced
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped

In a large wok or skillet, heat 1 Tbsp olive oil and stir-fry the onion, garlic and peppers over medium heat for 2 minutes. Remove from wok.

Add half of the chicken to the work and cook and stir for 3-4 minutes or until cooked through. Remove chicken and repeat with remaining chicken. (Add additional oil if necessary.)

Combine 1 14 oz can light coconut milk and 1 tbsp cornstarch. Carefully add to the wok, cook and stir until bubbly. Add onion mixture and chicken.

Stir in 3 tbsp fresh basil, finely chopped, and 1 tsp grated fresh ginger.

Heat for 1-2 minutes. Serve over rice.

Rhonda's changes: I used less chicken and then added 4ish cups of a raw stir-fry mix (broccoli, pea pods, carrots and cabbage) and fried that a bit before I added the onions, etc. Also, I didn't have any jalapenos, so I used 3-5 good shakes of jalapeno Tabasco sauce. I'm pretty sure I used more like a tbsp of ginger, too...why bother with just a teaspoon??

Elote Sauce

1 cup mayo
1/2 cup parmesan cheese (just the powdered stuff, not fresh)
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 lime, juiced
Black pepper, to taste
Sea salt, to taste

Mix together and refrigerate for one hour.  Spread on corn on the cob...preferably grilled or roasted.

And for you gringos, elote (corn) is pronounced ay-LOH-tay.  I guess you can leave out the cilantro if you must.
