Description
A delicious and spicy stir-fry featuring tender chicken strips coated in a creamy peanut sauce, combined with colorful bell peppers and aromatic spices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions and crushed peanuts for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well and let it marinate for about 15 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the sliced bell peppers, onion, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, coconut milk, honey, rice vinegar, and sriracha until smooth.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the peanut sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and crushed peanuts.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with tofu or tempeh.
- Add more vegetables like snap peas or broccoli for extra nutrition and color.
