About Chicken in peanut sauce

Chicken in Peanut Sauce is a flavorful dish inspired by Indonesian cuisine, blending savory and nutty flavors with a hint of sweetness. It typically features tender chicken pieces simmered in a rich peanut-based sauce, which includes peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and a touch of chili for mild heat. Packed with protein from the chicken and healthy fats from peanuts and coconut milk, this dish provides a balance of macronutrients. However, it can be calorie-dense and high in fat depending on portion size and preparation, particularly when using full-fat coconut milk or added sugars. Traditionally served with rice or vegetables, it can be a satisfying and nutrient-dense meal when enjoyed in moderation. To make it lighter, consider using low-fat coconut milk and reducing added sugar.
