Tasty, quick and easy hicken with peanut butter recipe
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts or thighs bone-in or boneless, your choice
- 1 cup of smooth peanut butter
- 1 can of coconut milk or 1 cup of heavy cream for extra richness
- 3 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of honey or brown sugar optional for sweetness
- 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger grated
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon of lime juice
- 1 teaspoon of chili flakes optional for a kick
- 2 tablespoons of oil vegetable or coconut
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients
- Start by seasoning your chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Chop your garlic and ginger and have all your ingredients ready to go.
- Sear the Chicken
- Add oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken pieces for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until they’re golden brown. Remove the chicken and set it aside. Don’t worry if it’s not fully cooked it’ll finish cooking in the sauce.
- Make the Peanut Butter Sauce
- In the same skillet, sauté the garlic and ginger until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes). Add the peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, and chili flakes. Stir until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
- Combine and Simmer
- Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Garnish and Serve
- Once cooked, garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot. You’re officially read
