Delicious thai peanut chicken recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless: 1.5 lbs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Peanut butter: 1/2 cup
  • Soy sauce: 1/4 cup
  • Honey: 2 tablespoons
  • Rice vinegar: 2 tablespoons
  • Sesame oil: 1 tablespoon
  • Garlic: 2 cloves, minced
  • Ginger: 1 teaspoon, grated

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Pour the peanut sauce over the cooked chicken and stir to coat evenly.
  4. Step 4: Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  5. Step 5: Serve immediately over rice or noodles. Garnish with chopped peanuts and cilantro, if desired.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For best results when reheating, add a splash of water or chicken broth to prevent the sauce from drying out.
  • Serve over jasmine rice and sprinkle with chopped green onions for a vibrant presentation.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the chicken; cook in batches if needed to ensure even browning.
