Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
  • 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • Cooked rice or noodles for serving
  • Chopped green onions and crushed peanuts for garnish

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the broccoli, red bell pepper, and snap peas. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  3. Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using) until smooth.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour the peanut sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to combine and heat through for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Serve the peanut butter chicken stir-fry over cooked rice or noodles, garnished with chopped green onions and crushed peanuts.
