Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by preparing your ingredients for the Thai Peanut Chicken. Chop the boneless skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, mince fresh garlic, and slice ginger finely. Gather all ingredients.
  2. In a large skillet, heat a splash of oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and sauté for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. While the chicken cooks, whisk together the sauce in a bowl: combine coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, and chili flakes until smooth.
  4. Once the chicken is cooked, lower the heat and pour the peanut sauce over the chicken. Stir to coat evenly and let simmer for about 5 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat, garnish with green onions and cilantro, and serve hot over jasmine rice or stir-fried noodles.
