Ingredients:
- 1.5 lbs (680g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts (for garnish)
- Fresh cilantro leaves (for garnish)
- Cooked rice or noodles (for serving)
Here’s the step-by-step process to make peanut chicken:
In a bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). This will be the marinade and sauce for the chicken.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss to coat. Allow the chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, but preferably for 2-3 hours to enhance the flavor.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of oil to the pan and swirl it around to coat the bottom.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and add it to the hot skillet. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes, or until it is cooked through and lightly browned on the outside. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Once the chicken is cooked, pour in the chicken broth and the remaining marinade. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with chopped peanuts and fresh cilantro leaves.
Serve the peanut chicken over cooked rice or noodles. You can also serve it with steamed vegetables or a side salad for a complete meal.
