Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken breast
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
• 1 large Red bell pepper, sliced
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 cup Carrots, julienned
• 3 stalks Green onions, sliced
• 1 cup Peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 cup Water
• 4 servings Cooked rice or noodles (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into thin strips and place them in a bowl.

Step 2

Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and the cornstarch to the chicken, and toss to coat evenly. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, prepare the spicy peanut sauce by combining peanut butter, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, sriracha sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and water. Mix until smooth, and set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and stir fry until fully cooked and lightly browned, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and carrots to the skillet. Stir fry for 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 8

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables, and pour in the prepared peanut sauce. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Step 9

Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles, if desired.
