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

  1. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces; season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. 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.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about one minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the soy sauce, creamy peanut butter, and coconut milk, mixing until smooth and well combined.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir until coated in the sauce. Simmer for a few minutes until heated through.
  6. Serve warm, garnished with chopped peanuts or fresh cilantro.

Notes

Storage: Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat gently in microwave or stovetop.
