Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter (natural, unsweetened)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 teaspoons Sriracha or chili garlic sauce
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Crushed peanuts
- 4 cups Cooked jasmine rice
Instructions
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to rest.
Reduce the heat to medium and heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in the skillet.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Stir in the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, Sriracha, coconut milk, and brown sugar. Whisk until the sauce is smooth and begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
Slice the cooked chicken into thin strips and return them to the skillet, coating them with the peanut sauce.
Plate the chicken over a bed of jasmine rice and drizzle with extra sauce.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and crushed peanuts before serving. Enjoy!
