Thai-style chicken

Prep: 10
Total: 25
Serving: 4 servings

ingredients icon Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (thinly sliced)
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil (canola/avocado)
  • 1 red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
  • 3 green onions (sliced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp ginger (grated, optional)
  • 1 cup snap peas (optional)
  • roasted peanuts (roughly chopped for topping)
  • Lime wedges and cilantro (optional, for serving)
  • Cooked jasmine rice (for serving)
  • 1/2 cup peanut sauce (such as Thai Kitchen or San-J)
  • 2 tbsp chicken broth (to thin if needed)

ingredients icon Directions

  • In a small bowl, mix the store-bought peanut sauce with 1–2 tbsp warm water or broth if needed to thin to a pourable consistency (like heavy cream). Set aside.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, season lightly with salt, and cook until just browned and cooked through, about 4–6 minutes. Remove to a plate.
  • In the same pan, add a touch more oil if needed. Add onion, bell pepper, and peas; stir-fry 2–3 minutes until crisp-tender. Add garlic (and ginger, if using) for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Return chicken to the pan. Pour in the prepared peanut sauce and toss, letting it simmer 1–2 minutes until glossy and coats everything. If too thick, splash in a little water; if too thin, simmer another minute.
  • Spoon over hot jasmine rice. Top with chopped peanuts, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.
