Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 spritz Cooking spray
- 4 tbsp Powdered peanut butter
- 2 tbsp Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp Water
- 2 stalks Scallions, sliced
- 1 tbsp Crushed peanuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Cook the chicken breasts in the skillet for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from the skillet and set aside to rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and water until smooth and well-combined.
Return the skillet to medium heat. Add the peanut sauce to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add the sliced chicken back into the skillet and toss to coat it evenly in the peanut sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until heated through.
Serve the peanut chicken warm, garnished with sliced scallions and crushed peanuts (if using), over steamed vegetables or rice (optional).
