Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/4 cup water or chicken broth
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts (for garnish)
  • Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, lime juice, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  3. Add water or chicken broth to the peanut sauce mixture, whisking until smooth and desired consistency is reached. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more water or broth, one tablespoon at a time.
  4. Return cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the peanut sauce over the chicken and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to warm through and thicken slightly.
  5. Serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with sliced green onions and chopped peanuts.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level.
  • For a thinner sauce, add more water or chicken broth.
  • You can prepare the peanut sauce ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
