A comforting and slightly exotic peanut butter chicken dish, combining bold flavors with minimal fuss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup white rice
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables
  • 1–2 tablespoons oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Whisk the sauce: In a bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, and coconut milk. Whisk until smooth; thin with water if too thick.
  2. Brown the chicken: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, pat chicken dry, season, and cook 5–7 minutes per side until golden.
  3. Simmer in sauce: Reduce heat, add peanut sauce over chicken, and simmer uncovered for 5–10 minutes until glossy.
  4. Prepare rice: Cook white rice according to package instructions and fluff when done.
  5. Cook vegetables: Steam or sauté mixed vegetables until tender-crisp, about 4–6 minutes.
  6. Serve: Plate rice, top with chicken, and serve veggies on the side with extra sauce.

Notes

For a lighter flavor, use natural peanut butter. Swap rice for quinoa for a lighter option.
