Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (boneless, skinless) Chicken breast
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter (creamy or natural)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes
- 3 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 large (sliced thinly) Carrots
- 2 cups (cooked) Jasmine rice
- 0.25 cup (chopped, for garnish) Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons (for garnish) Crushed peanuts
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add vegetable oil.
Cook the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside to rest. Slice into strips once cooled slightly.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir continuously until the sauce is smooth and heated through. Adjust seasonings to taste.
In a separate pot or steamer, steam the broccoli florets and carrot slices for 4-5 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
To serve, plate a portion of cooked jasmine rice on each plate. Top with slices of chicken and steamed vegetables, then generously drizzle the peanut sauce over the dish.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and crushed peanuts before serving.
