Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken breast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 0.5 cup Peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Roasted peanuts, chopped (optional for garnish)
• 4 cups Cooked jasmine rice (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season them with salt and ground black pepper.

Step 2

In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until they are golden brown and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, coconut milk, and red chili flakes. Mix well to create a smooth sauce.

Step 6

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to coat it evenly with the peanut sauce. Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more soy sauce, lime juice, or chili flakes as desired.

Step 8

Once ready, remove the skillet from heat and garnish the Peanut Chicken Yummy with chopped cilantro and roasted peanuts if using.

Step 9

Serve hot over cooked jasmine rice or enjoy on its own.
