Peanut Butter Chicken is a rich, flavorful dish with tender chicken, crunchy vegetables, and a creamy peanut sauce. It’s easy to make and can be served over rice, quinoa, or noodles.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 pound chicken breast, cut into 1-inch bite-size pieces

4 cups broccoli florets (275 grams)

2 cups julienned red bell peppers (220 grams)

2 cups julienned carrots (185 grams)

¾ cup peanut sauce

Salt and pepper, to taste

For serving – rice, cauliflower rice, quinoa, noodles

For toppings – cilantro, peanuts, sesame seeds, lime juice

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Once the chicken is cooked, add the broccoli, red bell peppers, and carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften but are still crisp.
  4. Pour the peanut sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until everything is evenly coated and heated through.
  5. Serve the Peanut Butter Chicken over rice, cauliflower rice, quinoa, or noodles.
  6. Top with cilantro, crushed peanuts, sesame seeds, and a squeeze of lime juice for added flavor.

Notes

For extra spice, add sriracha sauce or red pepper flakes to the peanut sauce.

You can substitute the chicken with shrimp, tofu, or beef.

Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or snow peas.

For a nut-free version, use soy-based or tahini sauce in place of peanut sauce.

Leftovers can be stored for 3-4 days in an airtight container in the fridge.

To reheat, use a skillet or microwave in short intervals until warm.
