Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
• 0.5 cup Natural peanut butter
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Fish sauce (ensure it's soy-free)
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Chopped roasted peanuts

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add minced garlic and ginger; sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the peanut butter and coconut milk, mixing until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Add honey, lime juice, fish sauce, and chili flakes to the mixture, stirring continuously to create a creamy sauce.

Step 6

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the peanut sauce over them. Lower the heat and simmer for another 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to absorb the sauce.

Step 7

Garnish with chopped cilantro and roasted peanuts before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm with your choice of side, such as steamed rice or vegetables.
