Ingredients
Scale
- Chicken breast or thighs
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions and peanuts for garnish
Instructions
- Create the Velvety Peanut Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and lime juice until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, you can adjust its consistency with a splash of water.
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. In a skillet heated over medium heat, cook the chicken until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Simmer with the Sauce: Once your chicken is cooked, pour the delightful peanut sauce over it, making sure every piece is coated. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes until it’s all heated through.
- Garnish and Serve: Serve your Peanut Sauce Chicken garnished with a sprinkle of chopped green onions and peanuts for an added crunch and freshness.
Notes
For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with tofu or your favorite veggies.
