Cooking Instructions

  • Prepare the Chicken: Start by cutting the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook the Chicken: Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  • Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Combine Ingredients: Reduce the heat and stir in the peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, and sriracha (if using). Mix until smooth and well combined.
  • Add Chicken Back: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Toss to coat the chicken in the peanut sauce and cook for an additional 3–5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  • Adjust Consistency: If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water or chicken broth to reach your desired consistency.
  • Taste and Season: Adjust seasoning with extra lime juice or soy sauce to suit your taste preferences.
  • Serve: Remove from heat and serve over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro for an added pop of color and flavor.
