Instructions
Making your Peanut Chicken Recipe is straightforward with these easy-to-follow steps:
1. Prep the Chicken: Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set them aside.
2. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until golden brown and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the chopped bell peppers and broccoli florets. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are just tender. Add the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional minute.
4. Make the Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sriracha. Whisk until smooth.
5. Combine Everything: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet along with the sautéed vegetables. Pour the peanut sauce over the chicken and stir well to coat evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
6. Final Touch: Remove from heat and sprinkle sliced green onions and chopped peanuts on top for garnish.
7. Serve: Plate the chicken and sauce over cooked rice or noodles, ensuring everyone gets ample sauce.
