Description
Tender chicken pieces enveloped in a creamy, rich peanut sauce, with a hint of garlic. A favorite for busy weeknights or family gatherings.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/3 cup creamy natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces; season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and no longer pink in the center, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about one minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the soy sauce, creamy peanut butter, and coconut milk, mixing until smooth and well combined.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir until coated in the sauce. Simmer for a few minutes until heated through.
- Serve warm, garnished with chopped peanuts or fresh cilantro.
