A quick and savory skillet dinner featuring chicken in a creamy peanut sauce, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, lime juice, salt, and pepper to create the sauce.
  2. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes.
  3. Reduce heat to low and pour the peanut butter sauce over the chicken. Stir until the chicken is well coated and the sauce is warmed through, about 1–2 minutes.
  4. Serve the chicken over cooked white rice with a side of mixed vegetables.

Notes

For a spicy kick, add chili garlic sauce to the sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days.
