Savory Peanut Chicken Stir Fry

Ingredients

• Cooked rice (4 cups)
• Peanuts (1/2 cup, chopped)
• Green onions (1/4 cup, sliced)
• Carrots (2, julienned)
• Broccoli florets (2 cups)
• Bell peppers (2, sliced (any color))
• Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons)
• Ginger (1 tablespoon, grated)
• Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
• Honey (2 tablespoons)
• Peanut butter (1/3 cup)
• Soy sauce (1/3 cup)
• Chicken breast (1 pound, cut into strips)

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, peanut butter, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth. Set aside the sauce to allow the flavors to meld.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3. Add the chicken strips to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers, broccoli florets, julienned carrots, and sliced green onions. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender and vibrant in color.
5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour the prepared peanut sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated with the sauce.
6. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to heat through and thicken slightly.
7. Sprinkle the chopped peanuts over the stir fry and stir to combine, adding a delightful crunch to the dish.
8. Serve the peanut chicken stir fry over a bed of warm cooked rice, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
9. Enjoy your flavorful creation!
