A quick and comforting peanut butter chicken dish featuring tender chicken in a glossy peanut sauce, perfect over rice and vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast, cut into pieces
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked white rice
  • Mixed vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, broccoli, carrots)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add oil if needed and brown the chicken pieces until cooked through, confirming internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  3. Reduce heat and pour the peanut sauce over the chicken, stirring to coat evenly.
  4. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for a few minutes until heated through and slightly thickened. Stir occasionally.
  5. Serve over cooked white rice with mixed vegetables on the side or mixed in.

Notes

Natural or smooth peanut butter can be used; tamari is a good gluten-free option. For richer flavor, use chicken thighs instead of breast. Add coconut milk for a creamier sauce.
